Ideal Types: Haikyuu
So I've been having a ton of fun with these this weekend and decided to do a few for the Haikyuu boys (or girls if anyone wants)
I will put a disclaimer that I honestly think it's not as clear as the MHA boys, and that these boys are more compatible with wider ranges of people, but when looking into their wiki pages, these headcanons came to mind.
Tsukishima, Kenma, Sugawara, Nishinoya, Kuroo
Fluff/Hc/Drabble
Kei Tsukishima:
Tumblr media
I believe Kei would fall for someone who's honest to a fault. They honestly aren't as mean as he is and calls him out on his crap way more than he'd like at first. All his sharp words seemed to do nothing to hurt them and it would drive first-year Tsukki absolutely bonkers. He'd be infuriated, but honestly unintentionally grow to respect them as time went on. I think what would hook him is seeing that they never intentionally caused drama, and were not concerned with sparing (or hurting) his feelings. He's been lied to a lot, so the boy has massive trust issues, that this person unintentionally becomes a safe space. and vise versa. I think he'd honestly defend them from everyone and they'd begin to date 3rd year. 
Kenma:
Tumblr media
I genuinely think Kenma would melt for an attentive soul. Kenma is insecure and doesn't verbalize his analytical thoughts often, and usual even then only when asked. I think Kenma can come off as apathetic at times, but I honestly headcanon he really isn't, he just doesn't really know what to say. I think something that would compliment Kenma would be someone who notices how smart the boy truly is and pursues his thoughts and opinions. By university Kenma would feel so comfortable they wouldn't have to ask anymore. I don't think it would matter if they were energetic or not, but I think it would really help if they had a goal in mind (note why he likes hinata and kuroo)
Sugawara:
Tumblr media
Okay, So it's a bit contreversal, I honestly think Sugawara would fall for a free soul, now I realize that could sound weird. I actually don't think Sugawara is super crazy, he's not sickeningly sweet angel, but one thing the show brings up over and over again is how reliable he is, even if he doesn't see that as a valuable asset while comparing it to natural talent. I think it says way more about his character. Suga's worked his whole volleyball career on reading his team mates, that I think someone who genuinely saw him, and pulled him into the moment would put a new passion into his step. Now with that said, I don't think he'd realize he fell until like 8 months after they became friends. it would hit the man like a ton of bricks
Nishinoya:
Tumblr media
I think Nishinoya would need someone who's so proud of him. Nishinoya's backstory is that he came from being a scardy-cat. something he doesn't really mention in the series very much, and I'd draw the conclusion he would be ashamed of his past. I think someone who's seen where he's grown from and respects him would melt his heart in ways he never expected it could. Nishinoya might not calm down but with the influence of his S/O, I believe he'd learn to be a bit less self-destructive. I also headcanon he wouldn't fall for someone found conventionally attractive. 
Kuroo: 
Tumblr media
Okay, I believe honest to goodness that Kuroo would fall for someone who's a stick in the mud. Now it might be a little weird to say that, but Kuroo's biggest strength in my opinion is reading people. I think Kuroo would be infuriated by someone who genuinely just stuck to their guns and didn't take any of his sly crap. He would have spent all 3 of his high-school years fighting for their attention. I genuinely think a tiny bit of rivals to lovers thing going on. I do think that his S/O might be a bit better at things not academic and university made Kuroo realize how much he truly missed them. I think they would actually get together after he was ceo and they crossed paths. Could I be totally wrong about this? absolutely, but this is my headcanon

I made this blog so I can rant about things without embarrassing myself, so here’s my ranking of the first year duos (not including Yachi sorry sweetie)
1) Tsukishima & Hinata
Obviously this is a tsukihina blog so I enjoy them as a ship, but even if I’m not looking at it romantically, those two are a lot of fun together. (See Miyagi Camp) We have sun and moon dynamics, the super hyped and energetic passionate heart versus the quiet thinker. I also call it the SquidBob dynamics lol. Also the fact that they are literally opposites physically, but are super jealous of each other. (*clenches fist* the way Tsukishima is always thinking about Hinata) 
2) Hinata & Yamaguchi
They’re not a common duo because both parties have their respective partners already but out of the other 3 first years, Yamaguchi is the least offensive one to Hinata. (Not including when S1 Guch would laugh at Tsuki’s mean comments.) Anyway, theyre a good bunch of boys who are teammates and friends and know how to not be at each others throats. Just seeing them go around during slow times in Nationals was cute and lots of fun.
3) Kageyama & Yamaguchi
Not saying this as a KageGuchi shipper but the fact that they don’t interact nearly as much (I’m anime mostly, I know About That but I’m not going to talk about it) as the other first years makes me want to see more of them. The fact that Yamaguchi (though not out right) isn’t afraid of Kageyama (doesn’t put a suffix on him, is casual enough to push him off the court when he had a nosebleed) while Kageyama doesn’t hold any animosity towards Guch, despite being attached to Tsuki’s hip.
4) Hinata & Kageyama
The fact that they are the prominent duo makes me not need to think about them since I’m over exposed to them in canon. They are funny though and I’m still not sure why I never jumped aboard them as a ship (I can point out a few reasons but we dont have to get into that) but I acknowledge that they are probably each other’s best partner on the court. Work husbands, as I like to say. (I also know about certain future teams, lets not get into that)
I mainly prefer these two from S2 and up, I think, because Hinata seems less afraid of Kageyama.
5) Tsukishima & Yamaguchi
Not a huge fan of childhood friend dynamics. (Even less when its turned romantic.) Yamaguchi, even though he’s learned to stand on his own in court, still feels very Tsuki orbiting to me. His initial appearance was supposed to be Tsukki’s lackey and yes he does mellow out and get his own growth, but even then he’s still stuck on Tsuki’s hip. (I don’t like how every time Guchi gets on the court, there’s always a scene that makes it looks like he’s doing it for Tsuki.)
I do like when Tsuki does acknowledge their friendship (When did you become so cool) but it makes me a little sad that he doesn’t do it as often and still calls him Yamaguchi (vs “Tsukki” and how close his is to Akiteru that he’s Tadashi)
6) Kageyama & Tsukishima
Theyre the lowest on my list despite both characters being my top favs (4 and 1 respectively) Their dynamics are just too... hostile for me. I compare it to the ZoSans/HijiGins/ImaNarus, the ones where theyre always butting heads but secretly and would never in front of the others’ face let them know that they actually respect each other. They’re just a little too snarky for me, and both pretty socially/emotionally stunted to have a nice pleasant moment.

haikyuu boys reacting to you hugging them for the first time
Tumblr media
everyone likes to talk about first kisses, but i think first hugs are just as heartwarming. feeling the way the other persons body fits around yours and taking in their smell for the first time… :,) i just love pre-relationship pining 🤌🤌🤌 but no tsukki cause i’m working a bigger fic for him 😳
cw: fluff, gn!reader
prompt: running up to them after they win a game and hugging them for the first time
characters: bokuto, kuroo, tendou, asahi, atsumu, iwaizumi
bokuto kotaro
surprised at first, but the surprise quickly melts into a huge grin as he wraps his arms around you
his hugs are all encompassing, big arms trapping you to his chest so you can smell nothing but him
riding the high of adrenaline from the game, he decides to lift you in one of those spinny hugs
his heart is definitely racing, but he plays off the embarrassment by laughing and smiling like he always does
will definitely try to find excuses to hug all the time you now that he knows he can, and he will sulk if you refuse
akaashi gives you a thumbs up in the background
kuroo tetsurou
also surprised, but quickly recovers from it with a smooth comment “oh? did I really do that well today?” and returns the hug with a sincere smile
if it was a particularly stressful or intense match, he won’t say anything and just hold you tightly
gives those good good hugs where one hand is on the small of your back and the other is on the back of your head to keep you pinned to him
will take this as permission to touch you casually, like poking your arms or resting his arm on your head (if you’re shorter)
will pout if you don’t give him a hug after every game from now on
tendou satori
is very surprised, he’s used to being ostracized so having someone willingly show affection towards him is rare
it takes him a second to register that yes, you are hugging him of your own volition
i imagine tendou to be touch starved as hell, so he holds you like you’re the last thing on earth
will ask you for more hugs at random times not during games because he simply can’t get enough
i don’t have as much to say about miracle boy i just wanna give him a big hug 🥺
azumane asahi
congrats you broke him
no but really, his face is fully red and his expression is indescribable
constantly debating on where to put his hands, overthinking the smallest things like “oh no what if i’m too sweaty and they think i’m gross”
just look up at him and give him a big smile and his heart will melt
his hugs are gentle, warm and comforting; you feel protected from the outside world
he blushes when you make eye contact with him for the next few weeks
suga and daichi will definitely tease the hell out of him later
miya atsumu
he is a fiery guy, so he can get caught up with the flow of intense emotions, especially after a match
this means he actually goes to hug you first once he spots you
he hugs you like it’s second nature, there’s no surprise or hesitation
atsumu gives complete hugs that feel like your bodies are two matching puzzle pieces, there’s no awkward spaces or gaps
another passionate guy like bokuto, he will pick you up and spin you around with a giant smile
definitely starts using a ton of causal contact afterwards, hugs and headpats n stuff
iwaizumi hajime
is definitely surprised, he expected all of the attention to be on oikawa
his face is a little red, but the deep color of his ears betray all his embarrassment
this man is ripped so you know his arms are thick asf 😩 makes for the best hugs
another breathtaking hug-giver, his arms snake around your waist and circle firmly on your back
he buries his face in your neck to hide his embarrassment, but the adrenaline dulls and he suddenly remembers that he’s sweaty
pulls away quickly and apologizes with averted eyes, but oikawa is already taking pictures and giggling (cut to volleyball hitting him in the face)
he’ll definitely be a lil more blushy and conscious in your presence, but doesn’t mind if you ask him for a hug now and then
Tumblr media
authors note: hello thank you for reading! i'm super critical of my own work so it takes a while for things to actually get posted lol thanks for sticking around
feel free to pop in my ask box with other characters you might wanna see for something like this :) ill try my best!! or if u wanna just say hi!

“You lie to your best friend/crush that you have an OnlyFans just to see their reaction”
Ft. Sugawara; Nishinoya; Tsukishima; Oikawa; Kenma
Pt. 2
A/N: My bias is so obvious here LOL
KARASUNO
Tumblr media
↳ Sugawara
➣  You are over at his house, the two of you idly watching a sitcom while browsing your phones and chatting in between; it’s comfortable, as times with Sugawara usually are.
➣  Every time Suga leans in to show you a funny meme on his phone or throws his head back in laughter at a joke from the show, you find your heart skipping a beat.
➣  He is beautiful, basically an angel in your eyes, but he is also your best friend and you don’t think he has any interest in you like that. Not in the way you do. 
➣  That’s how you get the idea to test his feelings. 
➣  Being the troublemaker you are (how else would you and Suga get along so well?) you decide to shake things up by casually mentioning you’re interested in starting an OnlyFans and asking if he thinks its a good idea. 
➣  You expect either of two reactions: either he’ll be as supportive as usual, possibly advising you to be cautious with strangers online like the mother hen he is, proving he only sees you as a friend—or he’ll tell you not to, possible evidence that likes you.
➣  The response you receive is not quite what you were expecting...
➣  Once the words leave your lips his head immediately whips around in your direction, light brown eyes looking at you with a serious expression on his face, something you’d never really seen before. It makes you uncomfortable and you begin to regret all of your life decisions.
➣  Suddenly though, he is leaning into you, his arms coming up to trap you against the couch as you try to back away. Your eyes are as wide as saucers and face completely flushed as he continues to stare you down before speaking.
➣  “Even though I’m your best friend, I’m still a man, you know. You’re being awfully cruel right now.”
➣ You audibly gulp, suddenly feeling light-headed but he keeps speaking, close enough that you can feel his hot breath fan across your cheeks.
➣ “Asking me to watch the person I like show off in front of thousands of other men? Even I have my limits.”
➣ And that marks the day of you and Sugawara’s first kiss. ♡
Tumblr media
↳ Nishinoya
➣  Your best friend, Nishinoya Yuu, is notoriously unabashed with his affections. 
➣ The two of you have an interesting relationship—Noya has no qualms with expressing how pretty he thinks you are, borderline flirting with you at times, and you frequently return the favor. 
➣  But you don’t take any of it seriously, of course, regardless of how much you secretly wish it were real. Everyone at Karasuno knows about Noya’s undying dedication to the volleyball club manager, Shimizu Kiyoko, and he confesses his love to her at least twice a day. 
➣ Unbeknownst to you those professions became less and less frequent after he met you and now most of Karasuno thinks the two of you are basically dating
➣ The two of you are at the mall, a frequent hang out place where Noya can look at volleyball gear and you can browse manga at the bookstore, when you get the idea to prank your friend.
➣ “Hey, Noya? I’ve been thinking about finding a way to make more money but I don’t have time for a part-time job so I decided to make an OnlyFans—I already have a few subscribers.”
➣ Nishinoya nearly trips and falls flat on his face. You would have laughed if it weren’t for how he immediately grabs at your shoulders, staring at you with a mix of anger and fear. 
➣ “Absolutely not! No one should be allowed to see your beautiful body like that but me!”
➣ You immediately fluster at his loud declaration, acutely aware of how other customers in the mall are giving the two of your strange looks as they walk by. 
➣ “B-but Noya, we aren’t even dating—”
➣ “Then let’s start dating!” 
➣ And what are you gonna do? Say no?
Tumblr media
↳ Tsukishima
➣ Being friends with Tsukishima could be frustrating at times—a sentiment you and Yamaguchi frequently discuss when the blond isn’t around. 
➣ Tsukishima likes to think most things are beneath him and he’s too cool to find enjoyment in activities most other friends enjoy, ranging from mini golf to video games. The man seems content to waste his life away studying and listening to music if it weren’t for you and Yamaguchi forcing him out of his room. 
➣ Naturally, something like a prank war would be something Tsukishima would want no part of—not that that has ever stopped you. 
➣ Usually, your pranks are failures. Either Tsukishima easily figures out what you’re doing before it can happen or he doesn’t give you the satisfaction of a reaction, chastising you for wasting your time pulling pranks when you have a failing grade in mathematics you’ll later beg him to help you study for.
➣ He still helps you though, he’s whipped
➣ Your newest prank however, you feel exceptionally confident in. Not only is it simple to pull off, only relying on your acting kills, but it also might answer your curiosity on whether you have a chance in getting your dearest Tsukki to see you as more than just a friend.
➣ The day you decide to do it the three of you are hanging out in Tsukishima’s bedroom as usual, you working on the math homework Tsukishima forced you to study while he reads a book and Yamaguchi sits in the corner reading a book.
➣ You had already discussed your plans with Yama beforehand, to which his expression looked suspiciously devious, like he knew something you didn’t know, as he proclaimed his support. 
➣ You hear Tsukishima turning a page and decide to speak up. 
➣ “Hey, Tsukki, have you heard of OnlyFans?”
➣ You hold back a snicker as you see Tsukishima visibly tense, his eyes widening behind his glasses for a moment before he relaxes. From the corner of your eyes you can see Yamaguchi smirking behind his comic, watching the blond closely. 
➣ “...yeah, I’ve heard of it,” Tsukishima simply replies. 
➣ “I’ve been thinking about making more money but I don’t have time for a part-time job so my friend suggested it. She said I could make over ten thousand yen a month.”
➣ “I think only the really attractive ones make that much.”
➣ You gasp, thoroughly offended, and Yamaguchi looks mildly annoyed by his friend’s response, already opening his mouth to chastise him for being so mean—but before he can say anything, Tsukishima is speaking again, still looking down at the book in his lap. 
➣ “Don’t do it though.” 
➣ “Why not?” You pout, refusing to look up at him when you speak. 
➣ “...I don’t want the person I like to do those types of things.” 
➣ You nearly choke on your own saliva, head darting up to stare at him in disbelief. Yamaguchi, for some reason, only smiles softly, looking unsurprised by the admission. 
➣ “W-what? You...like me?”
➣ “Oi, shouldn’t you be studying? One more F and you’re gonna flunk out of the class, dummy.”
➣ You’re slightly disappointed by the change of subject but when you notice the soft pink on Tsukishima’s cheeks you can’t help but to smile the whole time you finish your homework.
AOBA JOUSAI
Tumblr media
↳ Oikawa
➣ Oikawa is a busy guy.
➣ You were well aware of that before the two of you happened to be paired up for an assignment and got to know each other, eventually becoming close friends. 
➣ Between volleyball practices, tournaments, magazine interviews, and appeasing a passionate fan club, Oikawa rarely has time for himself, let alone another person. 
➣ Despite all of that, you could tell he always made sure to spend time with you, dedicating a few weekends a month to hanging out, just the two of you, and constantly texting you in the times the two of you couldn’t physically be together. 
➣ From an outsider’s perspective, it was almost like the two of you were dating. 
➣ But alas, you know the sad reality is that Oikawa is most certainly not your boyfriend and you have no idea if he has any interest in your like that…
➣ ...Which is why you decide to try to make him jealous one day to push him towards confessing his feelings, if they exist. 
➣ The two of you are at a café, sipping lattes and gossiping about other students when you bring it up. 
➣ “Y’know...I’ve been thinking of making an OnlyFans.”
➣ To your surprise, Oikawa’s eyes seem to light up, his lips curving into a smile of excitement. 
➣ “Wow, really? Maybe I should make one too!”
➣ Oikawa immediately pulls out his cell phone and the color drains from your face as you realize your plan has completely backfired. 
➣ “My fans are going to love this—hey do you think we can do a collab? The two of us in one pic would make us top creators for sure.”
➣ You can only nod numbly with a fake smile at Oikawa’s enthusiasm.
➣ Oh god, you’ve created a monster…
NEKOMA
Tumblr media
↳ Kozume
➣ Unless you’re Kuroo, becoming friends with Kenma is a nearly impossible feat. Actually making him want to spend time with you alone, even more so. 
➣ But somehow, you managed to work your way into Kenma’s tightly knit social circle more like a two point line segment of him and Kuroo and your evenings after his volleyball practice are usually spent in one of your bedrooms, playing Splatoon and Animal Crossing until your Switches die or your parents force you to come home for dinner—whichever comes first. 
➣ You love spending time with Kenma, his quiet presence somehow making you feel comfortable—but over time those feelings of ease have shifted into something more akin to nervousness and excitement as you’ve come to develop a crush on the setter.
➣ Every moment with him, watching the small smiles tug at his lips when he wins a match or his cute, frustrated pout when he can’t figure out how to defeat a boss makes your heart flutter and it’s becoming more and more painful to idly sit by without expressing your feelings.
➣ A direct confession, especially to a boy with nearly 0 social skills, is scary, so you want to be sure your feelings are returned before you even attempt to share them. 
➣ Thus, you’ve decided to take Kuroo’s advice.
➣ “Push him into a corner. Kenma will only act when he thinks he has to.” 
➣ You take a deep breath to steel your nerves before you speak, eying him sneakily from behind your Switch. 
➣ “Gamer girls and boys are kind of trendy these days; I’m thinking about starting an OnlyFans to make money to buy more games.”
➣ The only visible response you receive is a slow blink as Kenma continues to play his game, fingers tapping furiously on the keys. 
➣ “Ah...I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
➣ “Why not?”
➣ There are a few moments of silence between you two, the room only filled with the SFX of your games as Kenma seems to finish his round. You recognize the victory music as Kenma pauses to finally raise his gaze to meet your own. 
➣ “It's your body so I can’t tell you what to do but...I would feel really jealous of all your subscribers.”
➣ And just like that, Kenma returns his attention to the video game, unpausing and starting a new match, blissfully unaware of you struggling to calm your racing heart and flushed cheeks.

TSUKKI AND 19 SFW PLEASE AND THANK YOU
300 Follower Event
Tsukishima Kei
Prompt 19: “I’m sorry for calling. Can I please come over?” - SFW
Tumblr media
this fic was part of my 300 follower event. check out the rest of the submissions here.
non-canonical timeskip.
word count: 1.7k
content warnings: friends to lovers and hurt/comfort, boys. my specialty. (for context you met in college.)
the full body gasp that left me when i got this ask. your mind. i love where it’s at.
It took you a moment to register the vibrations thrumming against your hand. It had started in your dream and continued as you inhaled heavily and rubbed your face. Eyes barely open, you pawed through your comforter and found your ringing phone.
“Hello?”
“Hi.”
Well, that sure woke you up. You sat up in bed and held the phone close to your ear.
“Tsukki? Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.” His voice was unsteady. You checked the time.
“It’s three in the morning. Are you sure you’re alright?”
There was silence on the other end. You could almost feel his hesitation.
“I’m sorry for calling,” he said. He inhaled a shaky breath. “Can I please come over?”
“Jesus. Uh, yeah. Do you want me to pick you up? If you aren’t safe I can call you a car or something?” You pushed off your covers and moved quickly through your room, throwing clothes and other random items into their designated areas.
“I can get there myself. Are you sure this is okay?”
“Oh my god, of course. Just be safe getting here.”
“I always am.”
“Okay, well, please be safe. Just knock when you get here.”
You straightened up most of your living space and started boiling water for tea.
It didn’t take him long to get there. It never did. You swung open the door to face a very dejected, very tired looking Tsukishima.
“Hi,” he said.
“Hi.” You couldn’t push the look of concern off your face. He stepped inside and you gently shut and locked the door. “Are you hungry? We can talk but I don’t want you to feel—”
Your words died as Tsukishima melted against you. He dipped his face down and buried it against your neck and let out a shaky breath. His arms locked around your shoulders.
You hesitated. Yes, he was softer with you than most, but never this soft. You wrapped one arm around his midsection and brought the other one up to rest in his hair. He didn’t speak, but his breathing was weak and unsteady. If you didn’t know better you would have assumed he was crying.
“Let’s sit down.” You used the most gentle voice you could muster. “Do you want tea?” He shook his head against your shoulder. “Are you sure? I have that one you like.”
“You still aren’t allowed to tell anyone about that.”
You smiled.
“I haven’t and I won’t. Go sit down.”
He continued holding you tightly for a second, then rose to his full height and readjusted his glasses. You followed him to the couch with the tea. It was bright red and smelled strong — passion fruit, though he’d never admit it to anyone but you. He was so funny about letting people know his favorite things.
When you sat down beside him he immediately leaned onto your shoulder. His behavior was making you feel a little sick. Tsukishima was distant, sometimes a bit clingy when you were in a crowd or at a party, but that was never more than a hand on your back or thigh. He was never . . . like this.
“Do you want to tell me why you’re so touchy?” you asked. He huffed.
“Shut up.”
“Don’t be grumpy. You don’t have to tell me, but you also don’t get to take it out on me.”
He was silent for a moment, then took a shaky breath.
“I had a dream.”
He wasn’t going to continue if you kept asking questions, so you kept silent.
“It was weird at first. Normal dream nonsense. I was back on my high school volleyball team but all the upperclassmen had turned into bears.”
You snickered before burying your face into his hair, holding in the rest of your laugh. He turned his face the slightest bit to the side so he was addressing you more head on.
“If you keep laughing I’m going home.”
“I’m done. I promise. Sorry.”
He returned his gaze to the cup in his hands.
“So they were bears but it was like a normal practice. Then practice ended and when I walked out of the gym I was back on campus and you were there.”
“Were we college age again or were we our age now?”
“College. Now shut up.”
His hands were twitching in his lap, thumbs awkwardly padding over the glossy ceramic of his cup. You wanted to grab them and stop the movement, but you had no idea how he’d react.
“You were with this other guy. I don’t know who he was supposed to be. I didn’t recognize him. But he kept touching your lower back and trying to kiss you so apparently he liked you. Sometimes you let him so I guess you must have liked him back. So I started making my way over and I yelled for you and you ignored me,” he said.
“I’d never do that.”
He stayed pointedly silent for a moment, then continued.
“I tried yelling for you again and you didn’t listen. Then you walked into the science building and I tried to run after you but suddenly I was at that coffee shop we always went to.”
“The one that sells bubble tea?”
“Yeah, that one. You were with that guy again and when I walked in he was kissing you and kissing you and couldn’t take his hands off of you. And I tried to walk up and talk to you but you gave me this nasty look, like you hated me.”
His voice sounded strained. It wasn’t like he was about to cry. Tsukishima Kei didn’t do that, even around friends. He just sounded so . . . hurt.
“So, I just left. I didn’t know what to do. I still don’t know what I would do.”
You didn’t either, so you stayed completely silent.
“Time is weird in dreams, so a few years passed and I didn’t see you. I tried to ignore it, so I just blocked you on all social media and didn’t talk about you with my friends. And then —”
He stopped. You craned your neck to look at his face and his jaw was set, a hard line in his normally flexible, sarcastic demeanor.
“Then what?”
He took a long sip of his tea and even then hesitated, like the words would burn his tongue on the way out.
“I was going through my mail one day and there was this picture. But it wasn’t just a picture. It was you and this guy, and you looked so happy. It was an invitation.”
Oh.
“Before I could even react I was waking up.”
“That’s why you’re so upset?”
He stayed silent.
“Tsukki, you know I don’t dislike you. I never will. Nothing will change that.”
“That’s not—” he trailed off but sat up, like your touch now burned him. He set down his mug but was very, very careful not to look at you. “I don’t care about you disliking me.”
“Please tell me what you do care about, then.”
“I just . . . I can’t lose you like that.” He spoke slowly, carefully, like each word weighed thousands of pounds.
“You won’t.”
“You don’t know that.”
“Tsukki, stop. I’m not going anywhere.”
He laughed bitterly.
“You don’t see the problem, do you? I don’t care if you hate me. You could tell me you always have, and I’d be fine. I’d move on. But the second I receive some shit like that in the mail, it’s over.”
“So you’re not upset that I didn’t like you?”
“No.”
“You’re upset because I was getting married?”
He was quiet, still refusing to look at you.
“Tsukki, we need to talk about this. Look at me.”
He finally glanced over, a sardonic smile curling his lips.
“You want me to repeat myself? Because I’ve told you why I was upset, but you seem oblivious.”
“I’m not—” you started, but you knew there were more important things happening than telling him he was wrong. You hesitated before asking what was reeling through your mind. “How long?”
“How long what?”
“How long has that idea upset you?”
He rolled his eyes. “Do you remember that party we went to in college? Where I finally admitted we were friends and you ran around telling everybody?”
Your face was heating up.
“That long?” Your voice came out more strained than you wanted it to.
“You asked,” he snapped. You sat in silence for a moment, letting his unnecessary snark fade, replaced by slumped shoulders and nervous finger tapping. He cleared his throat. “I’m sorry. This is a lot. I should go.” He started to stand, and your heart lurched. A panic you didn’t know was hiding under the surface began to rise, and you snatched Tsukishima’s wrist.
“I would have felt the same.” The words flew out of your mouth before you could stop them. He turned, a confused expression on his face. “If I had that dream, I mean. I probably would have been a wreck.”
He gently settled back on the couch.
“You’re not messing with me?” he asked.
“Am I the kind of person to do that?”
“Absolutely.”
You huffed a quick laugh. “Yeah. But not like this.”
He stared at you, an unreadable expression on his face as his eye searched every inch of yours. Neither of you moved. He was so hardheaded and you were always determined to match him, to push his buttons until he had to show the slightest bit of vulnerability. Now it felt more like a game of chicken, both of you letting the tension rise, waiting for the other person to snap it. It was as Tsukishima was opening his mouth to speak, and his eyes fell to your lips and stayed there, that you decided you wanted it to be you.
You leaned forward quickly, pressing your lips to his as nerves threatened to boil up out of your body. Tsukishima inhaled hard, burying a hand in your hair as if he was trying to anchor you in his arms. You could feel his anxiety, his frustration, his excitement, all humming against you in the slight shifts of his body as his other hand came up to cup your face. He was gentler than you could have ever imagined, and it was nearly painful when he pulled away.
He kept his eyes closed, breathing quiet but unsteady, and smiled. Neither of you could bring yourself to speak. You just held each other close and let years of hesitation melt away.

Hi I just read you’re tsukishima story and it was so cute omg but I have an idea
Let’s say y/n has a huge crush on tsukishima since they were children right. But tsukishima never rlly liked y/n in that way. So he would always like be kinda aggressive but like not in the physical way, like he would be cold to her whenever y/n would constantly say something abt them dating. In reality he did like her but he didn’t realize it. Then suddenly a new guy shows up, he’s like really handsome and he’s in a small band, he plays the bass. Y/n actually listens to that band and she was so excited so the two of them click really easy, that’s when she starts being distant with tsukishima and stops the talks abt them dating, tsukishima starts to miss everything y/n would say to him and he wanted to get y/n back, but when he tries he sees y/n and the guy sharing a peck 😔‼️ sorry if this was longgggg ugh
a/n: ahhh! I’m glad you thought so, haha! don’t worry about the length, specifics are always welcome! <3 this is a really good idea! i think it ended up on the longer side, but yk, more content is good? i also ended up naming him, so it’s easier to refer to him. i keep holding on to highschool settings i’m sorry LMAO- i haven’t finished season 4 and i’m not reading the manga yet :( but anyways, here’s a bit of angst/unrequited love to balance out my recent fluff posts !
asks/requests: open !
word count: 2.6k
warnings?: some angst/unrequited love
worth a try.
- TSUKISHIMA KEI -
growing up with tsukishima had been a whirlwind of experiences. ever since you had moved and transferred to his school the last year of primary school, you’d been drawn to him. the tall, blonde kid with glasses. you found his pride in volleyball admirable, and you even found him to be so much cooler than you ever would be.
you originally didn’t know anybody when you first moved, but you fit right in with both tsukishima and his own friend. it was a strange combination, but it worked somehow. while tsukishima was rude, and yamaguchi timid, you were loud and energetic. you were lively. you challenged him just for the fun of it, you poked and prodded, just having fun being around him.
you were his self-declared best friend.
looking back on it, you probably always had feelings for tsukishima. back in those days when you tried to get into volleyball yourself. wanting to be like him, you tried your best, but you weren’t all that good. he would make fun of you for it, but you weren’t bothered by settling for being supportive of him and your freckled friend. You were just as passionate as they were about it.
you were even there when that passion jaded. watched as he stared at his brother from across the game.
it was when you started junior high, that you came to the conclusion that you were in love with your friend. but unlike most people, you did nothing to hide it. why would you? you were always open, always honest and straight to the point. you just weren’t one to hide that.
“go out with me, tsukki!” you poked his side with a cheeky grin, your eyes bright. your friend wasted no time in rejecting you.
“no.”
“aw, you sure?”
“i would never date somebody so stupidly annoying.” you shook off the blatant insult, laughing instead with your hand on your neck. a small thing you picked up from your other friend. yamaguchi.
“you’ll come around one day!”
“i doubt that.”
it went on like that all throughout your remaining years until high school. a constant back and forth that became a schedule at that point.
it was decided that tsukishima would be going to karasuno, as would yamaguchi. and so would you. you would go where they go, you’d never thought about leaving them both. you’d stay with them as long as possible, holding on to their friendship like it was your lifeline..
and holding onto tsukishima even more so.
you were there with them on the first day, when they joined volleyball club. that first practice match against aoba johsai.
you weren’t always watching their practices, since you had your own club duties to attend to of course. but you always made sure to stop by the clubroom while the boys were getting ready, just to say hi to everyone and to a certain someone.
“hey, hey!” you poked your head from around the door, waving a hand. the team greeted you cheerfully enough, minus tsukishima. who looked annoyed to no end.
“tsukki, wanna go grab something to eat after your practice? i know a really great spot!”
he didn’t even look at you, only giving you the middle finger.
you laughed, shrugging. “worth a try.”
the first time the team had witnessed your very forward approach to asking the extremely salty and crude boy out, they were surprised. the way he turned you down so effortlessly too, threw them off. the added shock of anybody even liking him was the cherry on top.
“is this normal?” sugawara asked, a chuckle falling from his lips. asahi was beside him, sweatdropping at the sight of your affectionate display, and tsukishima’s obvious lack of reciprocation.
yamaguchi smiled awkwardly, nodding. “well- yeah, actually. It’s been happening for years.”
“i’d kill to have somebody all over me like that! lucky bastard!” tanaka held his fist up dramatically, as if clenching his heart in it. he even had a tear in the corner of his eye.
“well then, i’ll be on my way! good practice, everyone!” you chirped, finally leaving them.
“l/n’s got some serious determination.” tanaka whistled.
“misplaced determination. they won’t shut up about dating, it’s annoying.” tsukishima didn’t sound as impressed as his loud senpai was.
yamaguchi tilted his head to the side. “really? i would’ve thought tha-”
“shut up.”
a small laugh. “sorry, tsukki.”
it would forever continue, it seemed like. you never thought you’d give it up, you always knew that you liked tsukishima. your heart would pound, your stomach would feel fluttery. but even though you’ve been with him since you were children, it didn’t seem like he’d grown to feel the same. it would get you down sometimes, his mean and harsh words whenever you’d bring it up. either casually, or intentionally.
you couldn’t help being so hopelessly whipped!
you were walking down the sidewalk with yamaguchi and tsukishima, humming along to a new song that had been dropped recently. you were so into it, strumming your fingers like you were the one playing in the recording. tsukishima watched you with critical eyes, but yamaguchi watched as if this was entertaining.
“new song, l/n?” yamaguchi asked you, and you paused the music. you nodded right away, grinning.
“yeah! there’s this kind of new band I found a bit ago, i think around the time you guys met nekoma for that first practice match? their music is so cool!” you could go on and on about them, to be honest. they may be small, and very underground, but you liked them anyways.
“wahh, they sound cool- right, tsukki?” yamaguchi and you both looked behind at him, faces expecting the same sentiment.
he only scoffed.
you roll your eyes playfully, sidling up to him for the first time today. “you want to go get some ice cream, tsukki?” you wished, hoped for him to just say yes for once. your heart was begging at this point.
“get out of my face, l/n.” he said coldly.
with a defeated sigh, you walked a few steps quicker, before unpausing the music. the humming resumed, and yamaguchi glanced back and forth between you both with a weary expression.
“you could try to be a bit nicer, tsukki-”
“they can’t take a damn hint, it’s not my job to be nice about it.” He said stubbornly.
yamaguchi sighed himself, nodding along. there wasn’t a point in continuing the topic; he always shut it down whenever yamaguchi brought it up. he’s never been so aggressive about something before.
interhigh had come, taking up your friend’s time with it. you were upset that they’d be so busy now, but with the new tournament coming, came a new student.
he was friendly, and cheerful, and honestly probably one of the most charming people you’ve ever met in your life. he even looked familiar to you, like you’ve seen him somewhere before. you couldn’t figure it out, so you just opted to the conclusion you must have just passed him down the street at some point. or some strange case of deja vu? either way, he was in your class now.
you were just coming back from the bathroom, your earbuds plugged into your ears like they usually were nowadays.
“l/n, please take your earbuds out, it’s class time.” iour teacher scolded you gently, and you pouted a little. It was just getting to a good part-
you had tugged on them a little too hard, and instead of just getting them out of your ears, they came out of the headphone jack completely.
you were embarrassed as your new favorite band’s music started blasting out of the phone’s speakers, and you hurried to turn it off. You were blushing, laughing at yourself as you went to go sit back down.
ahh, dang! everyone heard that! you were just laughing at yourself in your head now.
there was a tap on your desk, and you turned your face towards the hand. it was the new kid, and his face looked bright.
“you listen to my band’s music?” he whispered to you, his face beaming, and you gasped quietly.
“is this you?” you pointed at your pocket, where your phone rested. he nodded.
“that’s so- wow, i go to school with one of the people in my favo-”
“l/n, do you have something to say about the lecture?”
you shook your head violently, holding back a huge grin. “n-no, miss!” your teacher sighed, and continued past the interruption.
the looks you both shared didn’t go unnoticed by tsukishima.
everyday now, you were hanging around the new kid. you had come to learn his name, which was ishiwaka teruo. you both had hit it off instantly, it was like you guys had known each other forever, and not just a few weeks. it was almost like some crazy twist of fate, or luck. you guys were both alike in a lot of ways, held similar passions, too.
“see you, ishi!” you waved a hand, grinning as he waved a goodbye back. you guys didn’t take the same way home, so he ended up leaving the opposite direction, while you walked with tsukishima and yamaguchi. you were humming again, one of ishiwaka’s band’s songs.
“you seem pretty happy, l/n.” yamaguchi chuckled, watching as you danced a little. 
“oh yeah, you bet! ishi actually invited me to sit in for one of his practices, isn’t that so cool? he plays the bass, and he even offered to teach me a few chords. i don’t really mess with instruments, but-”
“can you shut up about him? all you do is just yap on and on about this guy, hanging out with him isn’t enough for you? what’s so special anyways?” his tone was harsh, and condescending. “if you’re just going to talk about him all the time, i’m not walking with you guys anymore.” your eyes widened as soon as you heard what tsukishima had just said. your heart was pounding, like it had been caught in the act of something terrible. you even felt slightly ashamed.
“wow, nice, tsukki. sorry for being excited about something.” you muttered, clutching your bag straps tight. what did you expect at this point? he didn’t like you as much as you thought, if he was so ready to just leave you behind. yamaguchi sensed the tension between you both, which made him uncomfortable.
you were all quiet for the rest of the way home.
interhigh came and went, the loss against aoba johsai stung the volleyball team, leaving their spirits broken, and cracked. you hadn’t been to the game that day, busy with a certain band member. and your missing presence hadn’t been looked over.
“where were you?” tsukishima had confronted you in the hallways, while you were walking with ishiwaka to the water fountain. it was break, which meant he could freely talk to you now.
you looked away from him, a nervous air around you that wasn’t like you at all.
“i’m sorry i couldn’t make it, tsukki- i heard that you guys lost, and i’m really sorry i couldn’t have been there!” your words were careful and slow, like you were thinking on how to say the right thing to him.
the blonde closed his eyes, and looked off to the side. he didn’t look pleased in the slightest. “were you with your precious band member? like some kind of groupie.” 
ishiwaka raised an eyebrow, and you just shook your head. tsukishima was really doing this right now? you said sorry, what else were you supposed to say?
“you know what, yeah. i was with him. it’s not like..it’s not like i have to be around you or yamaguchi every second of the day, okay?” you sighed. “look, i’ll make it to your next practice, and skip my club activities. is that fine?”
he hesitated, before giving you a curt nod. you smiled in relief. “great! i’ll see you then. now, about that specific measure-”
you had left him behind, and tsukishima had been hit with a realization.
you hadn’t mentioned going on a date at all. not today, not even within the past few weeks. was something wrong with you? he’d gotten so used to that, but now even that wasn’t a constant.
it was like you were slipping away from him, day by day.
and he realized that he didn’t like that.
as the days went on, thoughts about this ran rampant through his mind. it was maddening, he was trying to focus on school, and now, as he was walking to the clubroom, volleyball. he was scarily silent, and yamaguchi caught onto it right away.
“tsukki?” he asked quietly, not wanting to push. but he wanted to know. ever since tsukishima had come back from break that day, he’d been acting strange. he was even saltier, if that was possible.
“am i not enough for l/n?” he spit out the question, like it was a disease.
taken aback, the freckled boy could only blink. the two stopped walking, looking right at each other now. “what?”
tsukishima barked out a laugh, running a hand over his face in frustration. “you heard me, yamaguchi.”
yamaguchi’s jaw dropped. “do you miss them?” was he for real? was this jealousy actually coming from tsukishima?
“hell if i know.” he muttered. but he knew the answer, and that’s what upset him.
“i knew it. tsukki, why did it have to be now, though?” he shook his head in disbelief. at the utter obliviousness of this boy. yamaguchi knew himself that there was something there in tsukishima, something resembling feelings for you. but of course it was when you were no longer always around that he saw it.
“what?”
“l/n isn’t a puppy anymore, they’re not following after you. if you haven’t noticed, they’ve given up. you need to do this yourself, and fix it.” yamaguchi stated. he wouldn’t be lying if he said that he’d been frustrated with the back and forth between you both, it was so obvious to him, but apparently not obvious to tsukishima. or you, for that matter.
“i know that.” he muttered. he would have to confront you about this. was he stupid? why didn’t he get this before? 
“then do something about it.”
tsukishima was quiet.
it was decided by him that he’d catch you outside of practice, since you said you’d be coming to watch. it was a quick, and impulsive decision from him, but he needed this to be figured out. his head was at it’s most unclear, and that was affecting him.
you were affecting him.
he looked around the outside of the gym, trying to see if he could spot you coming. it took a minute, before he saw a figure off to the side. it was you, he could tell by that bag anywhere. he stepped out, only to be met with the full picture.
you were with ishiwaka, and you were kissing him.
tsukishima hurried back into the gym with a stone-cold expression. oh. so this is where he stood now.
no longer at the top of your list, no longer important.
you walked into the gym, beaming. it angered tsukishima, more than he should have been. he yanked your arm, and held you by them with a vice grip. you looked up at your friend with nervous, maybe even scared eyes. you hadn’t seen tsukishima like this before.
“what is he to you?”
you blinked. “wh-what?”
“who is he to you? that little bass player.” his eyes were searching yours, for anything, anything that he could hold on to. you didn’t respond, only looking away from his intense stare.
your eyes didn’t hold that same look that they used to whenever you looked at him. 
he had his answer. and he didn’t like it. so he let go of you, maybe for real this time. things had changed so much, right under his nose. and he had let it happen.

"Come here, kiddo."
Tsukishima sits on the step of the genkan calling your daughter. You left for work today, leaving Kei to take care of her because his schedule is free. He sighs as your daughter's taking so long choosing which pair of shoes she wants to wear. She hums in dissatisfaction, a hand on her hips as she looks at her shoes.
"I have no nice shoes."
She mumbles and Kei rubs his temples before patting his lap.
"Okay, c'mon I'll get you new shoes later," your daughter looks at Kei, a big smile on her face. His expression is genuine and soft as he smiles at her, "Now, hurry up."
He really will buy her new shoes, even though you'll probably scold him for spoiling her.
Your daughter looks at the rack again before finally picking out one. She walks up to Kei and places it on top of his large hands. She uses the arm Kei puts out for support to hold onto, as he slips on one shoe, doing the same for the other foot. Your daughter does a little twirl and Kei smiles at her.
His little princess.
He stands up from the genkan and gets her backpack, slipping it on one shoulder before putting his hand out for her to hold. She takes his pointer finger in her smaller hands, looking up at him with a big smile before saying, "Let's go!!" Kei smiles and he opens the door, repeating your daughter's words softly.
Tumblr media
"Please be careful!"
Kei calls out your daughter's name as he follows her, who's running full speed towards the playground. He's so worried for her that she might trip and get hurt. He can't have that, oh no, not on his watch. He lifts up his arm to check the time quickly before walking towards your daughter, who found a home in the sandbox. He crouches down, a smile on his face as he watches her play. It's actually quite sunny at the moment and Kei notices that your daughter can't see very well, so what he does is put a hand up to cover the sun that's hitting your daughter's face, shielding her from the harsh rays. He smiles when your daughter stops squinting and he stays like that for the whole time, ignoring the fact that his arm is getting tired. He looks around the playground and sighs.
"Tadashi's late."
He checks his watch again, before looking back at your daughter that's busy making a sand pile. He puts his hand out and helps your daughter make a little mountain, while he talks to her softly about what she plans on doing with it. His ears eventually perk up at a certain voice of a little boy he knows very well, calling for him.
"Uncle Kei!!!"
Yup, he was right.
He looks behind him and sees Yamaguchi carrying his son, Haru. There's an apologetic smile on Tadashi's face, as his son makes grabby hands toward Tsukishima. He calls your daughter's attention and she stands up almost immediately, running toward the freckled father. Tadashi puts his son down, and he runs, arms wide and a big smile as he hugs your daughter. Tsukishima walks up beside Tadashi and puts both of his hands on his hips lazily, as he smiles at the sight of his daughter and his best friend's son.
"You're late."
"I'm sorry, Tsuki."
Kei shakes his head softly, as a small smirk plasters itself on his face.
Some things never change, huh?
"It's been 4 years since we graduated high school and you still call me Tsuki."
Yamaguchi laughs awkwardly as he rubs the back of his neck, "Can't help it. I've been calling you that ever since we were little." Kei smiles at the memory and he can't help but think to himself.
"We were kinda like them, no?"
Yamaguchi hums and your daughter waves at Kei before turning her attention back to Haru. She looks for him because he disappeared, only to see him crouching in front of the bushes. She gets off the swing and skips her way through.
"Haru, what are you looking at?"
"There's a beetle here, look!!" he says excitedly and he motions for her to get closer. She crouches down and her eyes widen. She picks it up and places it on her palm, making Haru screech and run away from her. Yamaguchi and Kei both looked at the kids at the same time when Haru screamed. They saw him running toward them before begging to be carried by his father, making Tadashi pick him up. Kei looks at him confused before turning his gaze to your daughter who's walking with a beetle in her hand. The blond let out a sound of disgust as your daughter shows him the insect.
"Lookie what Haru found!!"
"Very nice, honey. But please put it back where you found it." Kei replies as he crouches down to meet her level, eyeing the beetle. He backs away when she suddenly shoved it in his face, the blond almost falling to the ground. Being a middle blocker sure made his reflexes better as his hands catch and support him immediately.
"Are you scared, Haru?" she asks as she looks up at Tadashi and his son. The boy nods as tears start forming on his cheeks.
"Why'd you look at it then?"
"I only wanted to see it from afar!!" he sniffles and Tadashi gets his handkerchief out to make his son blow on his nose. "I wasn't scared at first, but you picked it up and it got close to me." She tilts her head and Kei sighs.
"Put it back, sweetheart."
He says rather sternly and she mumbles a small okay before going to the bushes, settling it down. She goes back to them and Kei gently gets her hand to wipe it with the hand wipes. She looks sad and Kei is quick to reassure her as he kneels in front of her.
"I'm not mad, okay?" he starts, "Bugs are cool, I know. Your dad works at the museum." He laughs softly before continuing as he wipes your daughter's hands, "But, sometimes you have to admire them from afar. Especially if it isn't needed to touch them, okay?"
She nods and her eyes light up, making Kei's chest feel lighter. He kisses her hands and then forehead when he was done. She walks up to Tadashi and pulls on his shirt, making him look at her.
"Haru, I'm sorry I scared you."
Tadashi puts his son down, as he crouches beside him, rubbing soothing circles on his back.
"I-it's okay," he hiccups, "Let's just play on the slide."
She smiles and Haru takes her hand, leading her to the slide. Kei stands and dusts off his pants, playing with the package of the hand wipes as he walks up to his best friend.
"I'm sorry about that."
Tadashi laughs and waves him off. "It's okay, really. Haru also needs to learn that bugs aren't that scary."
"He's kinda like you though."
Tadashi snaps his head and furrows his brows, making the blond laugh at his reaction.
"I'm not scared of bugs!" he defends.
"Oh, but you cried when a butterfly landed on you when we were 5."
"How do you remember that?" Yamaguchi asks, and Kei only shrugs at that.
They both look at their children, a genuine expression on both their faces as they watch Haru and your daughter sit on the slide, laughing and talking about things kids like. Yamaguchi sighs and hums in agreement. Kei looks at Tadashi and pats his back, making the grayish-green-haired man look at him confused and startled. Tsukishima gives a small smile before walking toward one of the benches.
"C'mon, let's catch up. It's been a while."
Tumblr media
Tsukishima listens to Yamaguchi, as he sips on the coffee he bought from the vending machine, always making sure he has his eyes on his daughter every now and then.
"Yeah, it's crazy. Customers at the electronic store can be karens, and it's draining."
Kei laughs softly and shakes his head, "Jeez, good thing I haven't met anyone like that in the museum."
"You would've kicked them out."
"I would've made them into a museum statue."
Yamaguchi gasps and nudges Kei with his arm, laughing about how extreme he is if he encounters someone like that. They calm down and Haru comes up to them, your daughter following suit. But, before Haru can say something, someone interrupts.
"What's this?"
"Oh? What is this, bro. What's this?"
Kei closes his eyes and sighs deeply.
He'd know those voices from anywhere.
He hears Yamaguchi greeting the newcomers as soft snickers come out of him.
"Kuroo... Bokuto."
Kei says nonchalantly as he looks at them with uninterested eyes. There's a shit-eating grin on Kuroo's face as his chest is proudly puffed up. Bokuto has his hands on his hips, while the baby is his carrier just sucks on his pacifier. Kuroo gasps at his former student's expression and complains.
"Oi, why are you not happy to see your very great mentor?!"
"Because you're lame Uncle Kuroo."
A girl, probably two years older than Haru and your daughter comes up from behind Bokuto, as she makes her way to sit in the middle of Kei and Tadashi. Kuroo chokes dramatically and points at Bokuto's daughter.
"HAH?" he shouts, "You brat I bought you your Nintendo switch!!"
He crosses his arms and huffs when she ignores Kuroo, showing the new game she got to Tsukishima. He mumbles with a pout on his lips, "Seriously, she's like Kenma and she isn't even his daughter." Bokuto laughs before patting his back sympathetically, "That's okay. Believe me, she loves you and she's thankful." Kuroo rolls his eyes before he makes his way to sit on one of the playground equipment, rocking it back and forth.
"So, you got married, huh?" Kuroo inquiries with a gleam in his eyes and Tsukishima nods before looking at his daughter, who's asking for a sip of what he's drinking.
"Sorry, sweetheart you can't have this," he bargains and your daughter pouts.
"But, why?"
"Because this is coffee. You're still too young, and this is bad for you."
Kei says in the softest and the most gentle voice, it actually surprises Kuroo at how much one changes just because he's a father and married. She sighs before frowning, making Tsukishima guilty. Kei pats her head before excusing himself, Kuroo waving him off that it's okay, and turns his attention to Yamaguchi and Bokuto's family, listening very intently to Haru, who's talking about an earlier incident with the bug. Kei takes your daughter's hand, walking toward the vending machine. He picks her up, huffing an up we go before he carries her in one arm.
"You can have anything you want here," Kei starts and your daughter's eyes gleam, and this does not go unnoticed by the blond. "But," he pauses, "You can not have the coffee." Your daughter pouts and Kei smiles softly before he looks at the choices and found the closest thing to coffee he can buy, without the caffeine.
"Okay, how 'bout we get this?" He points at one of the drinks and your daughter looks skeptical, but she's considering it.
Just one more push.
"This is like coffee, but without all the bad stuff."
"Chocolate hazelnut?"
Kei hums and looks at your daughter, "Yup. Chocolate hazelnut." She purses her lips and Kei smiles at the mannerism as it reminds him of you. You'd always purse your lips when you're making a decision, and it seems that your daughter picked it up. Your daughter tilts her head, before saying a small okay. He fishes out coins from his pockets before inserting them in the vending machine, clicking the button for chocolate hazelnut. He crouches down as he gets the drink from the machine, walking back to where Tadashi and the others were. He sits down on the bench and places your daughter on one of his thighs, making her sit sideways. She waits patiently as Kei opens the drink before he hands it to her. She takes a sip as Kei slips his arms around her waist, clasping his hands together to prevent her from falling. She smiles and looks up at him, Kei tilts his head and raises his brows as he grins at her.
"How is it?" he asks and his daughter does a little dance, "It's really good." He smiles before kissing her softly in the head. He turns his attention back to the group.
"How 'bout you, Kuroo? Are you married?" Tsukishima asks, genuinely curious about his life. Kuroo shakes his head and waves his hand in dismissal to his question.
"Oh no, I'm not," he laughs before rubbing the back of his neck. "The JVA is really a lot of work so I haven't gotten around to dating anyone." Kei nods slowly, letting out a small oh.
"But it's alright. I'm not really in a rush to get married."
Kei hums and looks at his daughter, who's enjoying her drink. Kuroo smiles at Kei as he observes how gentle he is, his delicate fingers wiping your daughter's mouth because she's a messy drinker, and how he wipes the sweat off her forehead with his handkerchief. It's honestly such a heartwarming sight, the usually sarcastic, mean, and rude Kei is so gentle and close with his daughter, and you can feel the love he has for her just overflowing.
It's like two different people.
Kei catches up with the others as he watches his daughter get off and run up to Haru, to make him taste the drink━
"I heard Sugawara adopted," Tadashi says and everyone in the group let out a sound of shock, except Kuroo.
"It's not surprising?" he states unsure, "I mean he is a teacher, pretty sure he'd like to have a kid of his own." They all hum knowing Sugawara probably doesn't want to get married, but still wanted kids━
"Have you heard from Daishou?" Kuroo asks and Bokuto nods. "Yup, he got married. This baby is actually his."
Kuroo gasps and puts a hand on his chest, the other pointing toward the innocent baby. "You mean to say that isn't yours?!" he says dramatically making Bokuto laugh.
"Yup!"
"And you didn't tell me?!"
"Bro, I thought you knew. He literally looks like Daishou."
"I- No- Why are you babysitting his child??" Kuroo asks, very taken aback by the news Bokuto just dropped on him. Bokuto shrugs and casually says.
"I like taking care of kids."
Kuroo scoffs, "Tch, can't believe that's Daish- BRO I BOUGHT HIM THAT FREAKING CARRIER SO YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO CARRY HIM AROUND TODAY!!"
"And that's on being dumb," Bokuto's daughter retorts making Kuroo shout, "Oi! You go play with Ha- DID SHE KNOW?!" he asks looking at Bokuto with a very confused and pissed off face.
"I did, hello? Like dad said, he really looks like Daishou."
He hangs his head low, before sighing deeply. They all laugh at Kuroo's misery because he just spent a lot of money on his rival's son. He isn't mad at the kid, of course. It's more of the fact that he bought his great enemy something, and the last thing he wanted to do was buy Daishou an expensive baby carrier to use.
Tumblr media
"Bye Mr. Kuroo!!" your daughter shouts as she waves to them, "Bye Mr. Bokuto!!" Kuroo's heart swells as he waves back, one hand in his pocket while walking backward.
"Bye Tsuki's little version!!"
There's a big smile on his face as he waves goodbye, and if it weren't for Bokuto warning him, he would've tripped on the ledge. He turns around before running up to put his hand on the back of Bokuto's daughter, probably saying something about how he'll buy her a new game. Tsukishima picks your daughter up before turning to Tadashi, who's also carrying Haru in his arms, who's fast asleep. They bid goodbye to each other and Kei walks back to the car.
"Did you have fun?" he asks.
"Mhm!! Mr. Kuroo and Mr. Bokuto are really nice."
He's glad she likes them because it means a lot to him that your daughter likes his friends. It just goes to show that Bokuto and Kuroo are good people he can trust.
"That so?"
Kei smiles, a handsome and very wide smile as he looks at his daughter. Your daughter giggles before replying, "Yup! Mr. Kuroo also said he'll buy me anything I want. I just have to tell him." He shakes his head before laughing softly. They reach the car and he opens the door of the passenger side, making her sit on the baby car seat that's on the passenger's chair, securing her very well with the seatbelts. He closes the door before making his way to the driver's seat. He starts the car, checking the time on his watch before looking at his daughter.
"About that, why don't we get you your new shoes?"
Your daughter's eyes sparkles and Kei smiles, the one where he shows his teeth and it's honestly so attractive.
"I promised, right?"
She nods quickly and puts her hands up in the air, celebrating. This makes Kei laugh before he changes the car from park to drive mode.
"Alright let's go," he says cheerfully as he starts to drive the car.
"Let's go!!!" She repeats with much more energy and Kei's heart swells up.
You won't be home in another hour or so, and you can't really do anything about it if he buys her new shoes because Kei loves his daughter and he will spoil her as much as he wants.

❝ my assumptions based on your fav hq character ❞
Tumblr media
these are all in good fun and not serious at all, please don’t get upset by them, my opinion doesn’t mean shit bby :,)
Tumblr media
HINATA SHOYO
-> a soft bitch with a big heart. you want others to do well and you love positive attention. you do however, get overworked by emotion and sometimes get played because of how nice you are. judge people a little harsher and don’t be shy to put a bitch back in their place, you got this
KAGEYAMA TOBIO
-> we get it youre a bad bitch but sometimes it comes across like you’re still going through your angsty teen phase. stop that, you’ll get permenant wrinkles if you keep it up. let yourself live a little freely and don’t be shy to leave your comfort zone more often. and stop getting sad over the smallest things okay?
TSUKISHIMA KEI
-> horrible taste in men and you have a degradation kink. you wanna be called a little slut in the bedroom but would cry if you were called it anywhere else. you’re very kind people but you’re constantly putting yourself down and thinking you deserve shit over nothing. be kinder to yourself
YAMAGUCHI TADASHI
-> you’re the supportive friend people go to when they need a pick-me-up however, you let yourself get walked over from time to time and it’s not fair on you. don’t be shy to kick a bitch and show them who’s can be the alpha >:) you’re a bad bitch with a big heart and you’re academically stable
NISHINOYA YŪ
-> shush, indoor voices please! it’s okay! we know you’re here you don’t need to shout! you’re probably between 4’0-5’3 and preach personality over looks which is fine because as everyone should. you’re insecure around others and feel the need to have a bigger presence to feel more confident. it’s okay though, i think you’re really hot and you should let yourself feel more comfortable with people you actually like more often.
TANAKA RYŪNOSUKE
-> loyal as fuck and dependable. you’re the bitch people know they can come to should they ever need it. you’re popular and you own every hallway you strut through. you let the feeling of dejection get to you though and worry about how you’re perceived by the people you’re surrounded by especially if there’s a potential love interest in your orbit. calm down and be yourself more, it’s their loss if they don’t fall for you anyway.
ASAHI AZUMANE
-> stop letting people talk over you! you’re that bitch so why the hell do you let people overpower you? you’re hot and you know you’re capable but you wallow up in self doubt and get upset over nothing. remind yourself that you’re hot, loved and talented more often because you need it.
SUGAWARA KOUSHI
-> you’re deceptive and it’s not always a bad thing. you’re good at switching up your personality and probably act fake to certain people which is fair enough. you can be a bit of a bitch sometimes but you’re hot and funny so you get away with it. learn to break down your barriers a little more though because when people start seeing your act they’ll become untrusting around you.
DAICHI SAWAMURA
-> OKAY daddy issues pack it up now. no i’m kidding but you’re attracted to mentally stable people with good morals. someone that will take care of you and be there for you. try to be more self reliant and independent though.
OIKAWA TOORU
-> we know you’re hot okay? you don’t need to post thrist traps on snapchat at 2AM every night we get it! you’re a little whiny and bratty but that’s a given. you’re a burnt out gifted child and you were probably in top classes or top league for a sport between ages 8-14 before you started becoming more average. that’s fine too though, just remember you have talents that lie elsewhere you just have to find them.
IWAIZUMI HAJIME
-> daddy issues 0.2. you’re bossy and demanding but fair. you judge others accordingly and have a good sense of who’s a good person and who’s not. you need to be more open with people and let more people in though. you’re protective of yourself and don’t let your walls down so easily. soften them and let others in more.
MATSUKAWA ISSEI
-> you’re just here for a good time and a good railing that’s all i have to say.
HANAMAKKI TAKEHIRO
-> you’re the bitch that has to listen to the mattsun stans last hook up. you’re hot too, go have a good time.
KUROO TETSURŌ
-> you’re extremely hot and i would absolutely make out with you right here right now. no i’m kidding. i’m not but anyways, you have mommy issues and you need to get over it. you also need to stop being so analytical of people because some people don’t like being read and you step over peoples boundaries sometimes. control yourself you feral thing.
KOZUME KENMA
-> ah yes. everyone’s favourite ‘i have issues but i don’t want to deal with them, so i’ll be a whore online instead’. that’s a half joke but seriously, you’re doing fine bby you don’t even need to worry. nobodies judging you and even if they are they’re way uglier and dumber than you. even still you should be friendlier to those around you and let your guard down a little more.
YAKU MORISUKE
-> you’re like a little dog. yappy and lively. you’re also very trustworthy and i would tell you my deepest and darkest secrets and feel safe about it. you’re strong willed and put others in their place at ease. you do however, need to be a little more selfish and put yourself first at times. selflessness is great but it’s okay to put yourself first sometimes and you need to do that more often.
LEV HAIBA
-> you’re literally so hot and i’d be begging for your attention. you’re also slightly oblivious and have probably had several people crush on you at once but you’ve ignored them all unintentionally. you need to believe in yourself more and remind yourself that you’re that bitch. you’re capable of amazing things you just need to realise it yourself a little more
BOKUTO KOUTARŌ
-> okay mx mood swings you need to stop acting out over nothing. you’re gorgeous don’t get me wrong but dropping your slice of bread on the floor isn’t the end of the world. get over smaller things quicker and become more aware of your surroundings. you have a really good set of close friends and you’re friendly to everyone around you. you’re very very loved but you need to stop getting caught up over pointless things.
AKAASHI KEIJI
-> you’ve probably been called ‘boring’ before but that’s far from the truth. you make snide comments and you’re witty. you’re one of the most mentally stable people and you don’t get upset over petty argument or fights. you do howver nit pick at situations and get too critical. stop that because you only annoy yourself more and put yourself in a bad mood.
SHINSUKE KITA
-> you scare the shit out of me but in a good way. i’d be scared to talk to you because you’re so perfect? you do tend to come across as unapproachable though but that’s not your fault. smile a little more and don’t be afraid to laugh a little louder. your laugh is so pretty anyway so don’t be shy to let yourself loose a little more
ARAN OJIRO
-> you’re the type of person people think about for weeks after seeing you at the airport you’re that hot. you’re reliable and loved by many. you’ve got a good spirit and you’re mentally balanced. you need to stop overworking yourself though and stop getting too worried for other people in their place. you’ve already got enough on your plate so stop taking other peoples problems when you already have your own.
MIYA ATSUMU
-> you’re a bitch. no i have more to say. you’re misunderstood. you come across as a shitty person but that’s just because you’re passionate and hard at communicating in a way that’s not so blunt. you’re petty and dislikable at first but after a couple of conversations, people find out there’s so much more to you. you’re funny, hot and talented. just remember to work on holding back on the blunt statements a little more.
MIYA OSAMU
-> 2nd best kinda vibes. you ARE the pretty best friend but people always ignore that because you’re kinda overshadowed by others around you. you’re like a diamond in the rough and valuable to those lucky enough to find you and get to know you. don’t put yourself down so much and show others you can be independent and unique because that’s exactly what you are
SUNA RINTARŌ
-> you’re hot and that’s it. you’re probably the type of person to not show up to classes but still manage to pass every exam with ease. you’re almost too cool to approach and people probably think you’re bitching about them when they see you on your phone. what they don’t know is that you’re really looking at pictures of cows that have been washed and blowdried. you probably own a pink princess cowboy hat and your instagram is probably everyone’s pinterest board. just stop slacking off though because you can achieve so much more.
SAKUSA KIYOOMI
-> you’re powerful and elegant. you’re very level headed and go about problems the efficient way. you hate time wasters and don’t let people make you their bitch. you probably have a slight god complex but that’s okay because when you’re as hot as you are, it’s understandable. stop being so uptight and sensitive about things though. be kinder to your mind and let go of the things not worth holding a grudge against.

Keeping a Secret - Part 8
Tumblr media
pairing: Tsukishima x f!manager of Sendai Frogs genre: sexual tension/crack/fluff/slow burn wc: 7.4k [a/n]
Thank you so much guys for being patient. I’m feeling so so much better now, but still recovering. 
Updates will still be slow but doing my best. I want to pay attention to my other hobbies again (dance, sing, games, cosplay). 
AO3 link is in the masterlist page.
Let me know if you want to be part of the taglist. 
Part 7 || Part 9 || masterlist
He wakes up from the slight trickle of light seeping through his room’s window. Did he not close his curtains before sleeping? He always makes sure they’re closed because he hates waking up to the brightness of the sun. Even the slightest rays of light  cause him to wake up. He sits up and rubs one eye as he tries to make sense of why his curtains are open and why his head feels a bit funny that morning. 
His hand stops moving and his whole body goes stiff when last night’s occurrences flash in his head. There’s not one single moment omitted from his memory.  
He remembers drinking in that foul place because he was so upset that he even bothered going there in the first place. He remembers every little foolish thing he did - the immense amount of flirting from his end, his inability to walk straight, talking to his fucking keys, and getting caught drunk by his brother. 
He looks at the space beside him for a while and groans, regretting everything last night.
The only pleasing memory from last night was when you laid down on his bed… and everything that followed after that. Yet that seems to be the only thing he imagined apart from the rest of what he can remember.
He’s been repressing the urge to kiss you ever since you broke the deal. So much so that  his brain probably conjured up a scene that would satisfy that desire. 
It felt so real though. You were so pliant and inviting. Even now, he can still remember how you whimpered his name and how you arched your body closer towards his touch.
He gently shakes his head.
You probably decided to go home after you changed and he was probably asleep by then, dreaming the whole thing. He reaches for his eyewear case and wears his glasses.  He seats himself at the foot of his bed, gathering his thoughts once more before he stands up.
He hears his door open and doesn’t bother looking up. It’s probably Akiteru. He’s very sure he’ll hear from his brother about him being drunk and brought home by you. He doesn’t have any valid explanation as to why he got himself drunk... so he keeps his head down to avoid his brother’s gaze before the taunts come. 
“Please don’t tell me you have a hangover.”
The voice is definitely not Akiteru’s. He slowly lifts his eyes up to see if it’s truly who he thinks it is.
When he does, his eyes land on your figure leaning back on his door with your arms crossed as you regard him with both worry and chagrin. 
You’re wearing his clothes, like you were in his dream. Was it really a dream though when you’re actually in his room right now wearing the exact same clothes?
No, it wasn’t. It really happened. You slept with him, in the most literal sense, with your hands clasped together. He takes in your appearance again. Without his glasses last night, he didn’t notice how big his clothes actually are on you. He really doesn’t pay much attention to your build. Your personality makes you standout and your presence is bigger than most people he has met.
But as he stares at you now, you seem silly acting all high and mighty when you look like a mouse wearing his clothes. He keeps a straight face despite being amused at your appearance.
Unable to read Tsukishima’s expression, you feel your frustration rising. Is he still dazed? After all the effort you put last night, does he have a hangover? He’s staring at you far too long without saying anything. “I will give you the worst earful you’ll ever get in your life if you have a fucking hangover,” you spit out. You did not suffer last night’s horrors only for him to have a hangover this morning.
“I don’t. I’m only trying to recall everything last night,” he says with his voice back to normal, devoid of the previous evening’s teasing and uncharacteristic flirtatiousness.
You two regard one another carefully, traces of what happened clear in each other’s eyes. Yet, no one dares speak of it. 
You decide to break the ice first as you smile your best at him. “I hope you remember how you talked to your keys,” you say with mirth glazing your tone. 
He squints at you while you maintain your cheery grin. He averts his gaze and answers, “I did no such thing,” even though his demeanor clearly says he fully remembers he did. 
You snort before getting your clothes last night from his desk. You place the bottle of water you grabbed from their kitchen to his desk. “Drink up. You’re still probably thirsty,” you tell him with a tone almost similar to Coach’s when someone from the team is acting up. Then you head to their restroom without saying anything else.
When you finish changing back to your clothes from last night, you check your reflection in the mirror. You look a bit tired but still okay, considering what you’ve been through. At least Tsukishima is no longer a flirting menace and you’re no longer a blushing virgin. 
You dump his dirty clothes in their laundry basket and go back to his room to let him know you’re leaving.
“You will attend this afternoon’s training, right?” you ask just to be sure. He stands up and narrows his eyes at you. “Why wouldn’t I?”
You grin at his response. The Tsukishima you know is back and is as nasty as you remember him to be. “Great to know. Anyways, I’ll leave now. I have classes soon and I still need to go back home to change,” you announce before going for his door.
But before you even touch the door knob, you feel him grip your arm. “Hey,” he says sternly. You turn around to face him, curious about what he has to say that he has to touch you to stop you from leaving. “What?” He answers by dipping down to reach your lips. He plants a chaste kiss on them that it makes your heart tumble from how uncharacteristically tender it is. He pulls back, remaining only centimeters away from your face for a while before he completely withdraws away.
You gape at him dumbfounded, uncertain what to make of what he just did.
“I’m confused,” you admit.
He cocks one brow up but the rest of his features are still unreadable.
“I thought you’d be smart enough to get what it means,” he says before a smirk creeps up on his lips, turning his blank expression to a smug one.
You scoff and look away with disbelief, but you quickly recover as you face him again with a smirk of your own. “You really this snarky in the morning, Tsukishima? You could’ve asked nicely if you wanted to be kiss buddies again,” you taunt him for you know he won’t openly admit it.
“I already did. Last night,” he answers, his eyes and tone no longer sneering.
He did?
‘We already broke that deal, Tsukki.’
‘Then let’s bring it back.’
He did. 
You just didn’t think he actually meant it. You were convinced that it was just an alcohol-induced volatility. 
Your confusion turns to something you can’t fully describe, something exasperating yet delightful at the same time.
You chuckle as you roll your eyes. “Indeed, you did,” you say before stepping out of his room, but for the second time, he stops you from leaving.
“You haven’t given me an answer yet.”
With your back facing him, you smile when you hear his persistence. 
You hastily turn around and latch an arm around his neck, pushing yourself against his body. You tip your toes to reach him and press your lips firmly against his.
Before it even sinks in him, you quickly pull back with your arms slowly dropping on his chest. You give it one tap and quietly say, “There’s your answer.”
You swiftly release yourself from him and third time’s a charm, you successfully get out of his room.
He watches you hurriedly close his door, then sighs when you’re no longer in sight.
“How annoying,” he utters.
Yet there’s the tiniest smile on his lips as he starts getting ready for his day.
Even though your secret deal is back, no one speaks of what almost happened that night on his bed. Both of you are aware that it did, but no one dares mention it. 
The secret kisses you share are also back to how it was - passionate but still harmless, nothing like the sensual one you had when he got drunk.
There’s also been no repeat of the hugging disaster you did at the Sendai gymnasium. Things are back to how it’s supposed to be. 
Yet you can’t shake off the feeling that something changed. 
Whatever. Maybe you’re just overthinking it because the project is ending soon. When it does, your little secret will cease to exist and you’ll become nothing more than his manager. Things will be back to how it was before the unfortunate pairing your professor did.
Was it really that unfortunate though? You stare at nothing for a while then take a deep breath to brush off your unnecessary thoughts.
You should be focused on the upcoming game, not on what happens with you and Tsukishima behind closed doors. You better go down to the benches with them than staring at the court when there’s not even a game taking place. 
“Fancy seeing you again, Miss Manager.”
You turn your head to the side to see who’ll be this match’s receiver of your rejectorama streak. You’re a bit surprised when it’s not someone in their jersey, but someone in a business suit regarding you with a professional smile. You know this guy. You’ve met him somewhere for sure. 
Ah, yes. He’s that guy talking with Bokuto when Tsukishima introduced you. 
You return the guy’s smile as you tilt your whole body to face him. “Sir Promoter,” you acknowledge quaintly. “How may I be of any help to you today?” 
“I was wondering if you can tell me more about the Frogs this year,” he says kindly, all too kindly for your taste. You’d brush him off but you might just be reading into it too much. He might be actually only doing his job.
“I’d love to, but we have a game. Maybe another time, Sir Promoter,” you maintain your goody two shoes act to mirror his nice guy demeanor.
“How about tonight then?” 
There it is - the slight tug of his lips and the hint of mischievousness that quickly flashed by his eyes. It was there only briefly but you saw it. He accidentally bared the fangs he’s hiding.
You take a step closer to him and give him a calculated smirk. Something tells you that you can’t pull the same antics you use to drive others away with this guy. You remember how he was studying you when you met the first time. You know he was into you or liked how you look at least.
As quick as he is to slip to his playful demeanor, he’s just as fast to be back to being well-mannered and polished, which you’re not totally sold on.
He’s playing a different game from others who have tried to ask you out. So you decide to change it up a bit and be upfront with him rather than creep him out with your weirdness.
“Are you asking me on a date, Sir Promoter?” you ask with unbridled mischievousness designed to throw him off.
Your plan works as you see him catch off his guard a bit with your direct question. However, he instantly recovers with his civil smile back on his face. 
“Me? Sorry to disappoint but it’s purely for work.” 
Your brow shoots up at his response. 
“It won’t be a date or anything,” he says with the same nice guy facade right before he tears it down as he smirks and leans down to whisper in your ear. 
 “Unless you want it to be.”
A smirk shows itself from your lips before you can suppress it. You have to admit. This guy is good. He knows that part of your job is to provide the information he needs from the team. He’s using that to his benefit and make it seem this invite is completely for professional purposes.
You might have believed it and might have been completely fooled if you haven’t met him yet before.
You laugh a bit as you internally admit your defeat.
“After the match then, Sir Promoter.”
He pulls away and stands straight back up with a grin. “It’s Kuroo, in case you forgot,” he reintroduces himself. “I didn’t.” You wink then pass by him without saying.
Kuroo chuckles to himself when you leave. He doesn’t mix business with pleasure. He really needs to get the updated profile of the Frogs for their database. He also needs to know which players he can include for their collaboration with Molten.
He planned to keep things professional and tried to keep his business pants on. But he failed to keep it for long when you easily noticed how attracted he is to you.
He shakes his head with a smile then heads to the benches where he’ll watch the game himself.
You clap your hands merrily after you tally the last winning point made by Kyoutani. Two  more games and your team will be up against a team from Division 1.
The Frogs have only been successful in achieving a game with Division 2 in your first year as a manager. After that it’s been mostly at the top 3 or 4.
This year, you’re confident that you’ll advance again among other Division 2 teams. 
When the team disperses for some down time after the match, you approach Coach Mira. “Hi Coach, I won’t be on the bus going back. The VBA promoter wants to ask me stuff about the team. I’ll gather everyone when it’s time to leave then meet the guy. Is there anything else you need me to do, Coach?”
She looks at you and smiles gratefully. “Nothing else, y/n. Thanks for your hard work as always.”
You smile back appreciatively before you turn around to get back on your tally sheet. You need to review the statistics of each member who played in the games.
“Hey,” you hear Tsukishima’s voice behind you before you grab your notebook.
“Hmm?” you respond quizzically, wondering what he might want from you after a game. “You’re meeting Kuroo later?” he asks with his usual empty tone and expression.
“Yeah. You know him?” 
You know that Tsukishima knows Bokuto, but you’re not sure if he knows the promoter Bokuto was with at the time. The Kuroo person might have just been there. Tsukishima nods. “He…,” he trails off, sounding unsure of what he’s going to say next. 
“He what?” you ask as you get your tally sheet from the bench.
“I trained with him too, along with Bokuto. He taught me how to block.” You put down the tally sheet and gape at him. “Really? That guy is your mentor?” 
You supposed that Kuroo has the build. He’s tall and even with his suit on, you can tell that he has some muscles going on underneath it. Now that you think about it, he’s actually kinda good looking. It’s just that a lot of athletes are buff, tall, and good-looking too that you’re desensitized to it now. 
“Yeah,” he responds. “I see. He’s asking me about the Frogs, something for his job I guess. I’ll meet with him right after I make sure all you guys are on the bus on the way back.”
You expect him to walk away and go to the restroom like he always does after a game, but he just stands in front of you saying nothing. “What?”
“You should ask to reschedule. It’s already late.”
You look at your phone to check the time and it really is late than the usual time the games end. The slot the team got was the last match for the day and the earlier games were delayed so the team finished at already 9.30 pm. “It’s fine. I don’t think it will take long anyways.”
He takes a few seconds before he answers. “Right,” then he walks away. You finish summarizing your tally sheet then gather the members of the frogs. You make sure everyone is on the bus before you take your leave and go back inside the gymnasium where you agreed to meet Kuroo.
You see him against the railing where you were watching from earlier. His elbows are leaning on the banister with his hands on his pockets as he grins at you who’s walking towards him.
“Shall we commence this professional get-together?”
“Yes, we shall. Would you prefer going somewhere else?” he smiles as he asks.
“I’m all set here if it’s purely Frogs’ information you’re after,” you answer craftily, attempting to make him admit that there’s another kind of business he’s going for. 
“Here it is then,” he responds with a grin, resolute in his stance that he’s not going to ask you out tonight. He clears his throat and stands up straight, his deviousness gone as he starts asking questions.
Damn, you were mistaken about this guy. He was just toying around with you earlier but really had no plans to ask you out. He must be like you who just likes to mess with people every once in a while. You probably came off cocky to him this morning.
More than being embarrassed, you’re amused. He’s actually interesting. 
“That’s that, y/n. Thanks for your cooperation on this one,” he says politely. 
“No worries. It’s part of my job.”
“Do you have a card so I can get back to you if I need anything again?” 
You get your cardholder from the pockets of your pants, but you don’t feel anything even as you reach even the deepest parts of them. You check the pockets of your jacket as well but it’s not there either.
You most likely left it at home.
“Uhhh. I don’t have it with me right now. You can just take my number,” you suggest.
He raises one brow quaintly but brushes it off immediately as he hands you his phone. You take his phone and as you’re about to enter your contact details, you suddenly feel uncanny with giving him your number this way.
You look at him and ask. “It’s the same thing, right?”
He frowns. “What is?”
“Putting my number like this on your phone and giving you my business card,” you answer.
He chuckles lowly and glances at you with a very amused grin. “For you sake, I’d say yes, they’re the same.”
You enter your contact number and hand it to him with a smile. When he gets it, he raises his brow and looks back at you. “Manager of Sendai Kermits?”
You nod. “That way we keep it professional.”
His grin spreads wider as he pockets his phone. No one would put that kind of name in their contact details and genuinely think it’s professional. 
“I have to be honest, y/n. You’re making it really hard for me to keep it strictly that way.”
You feign innocence as you put a gentle hand on your chest. “Me? But I’m not doing anything.”
Right, and Volleyball is a sport played by monkeys in pink dresses. “Sure,” he agrees and lets it go before he does something out of line like asking you to have late dinner with him since the game ended late already. “We done?” you ask.
“Yeah. Sorry, I took longer than I expected,” he apologizes. At times, he’d get drawn in with how you speak and how entertaining you look while doing so that he got distracted. “How are you going to get home by the way? It’s late already.” If you’d ask him, he can take you home. Though he highly doubts you’d ask that of someone who’s practically a stranger. 
“I think I can still catch the bus,” you casually respond. 
“I can walk you to the bus stop if you don’t mind,” he discreetly offers, making sure that you’re comfortable with the idea. 
“Hmm,” you ponder. Unlike the girls who he has gone out with, he can tell you’re not playing hard to get by delaying your answer. You’re really deciding on whether you’d let him extend what little time more there is to enjoy your company.
You grin at him genuinely, none of your pretentious facade whatsoever. “Alright!” you stand up and don't wait for him as you start walking already. 
He shakes his head then easily catches up and walks beside you.
“How long have you been a manager?” It wasn’t a question to start a small talk. He’s seriously curious how long you have been doing this. He only got the promotion recently so he does not know most people aside from his friends and acquaintances from his Volleyball time in high school. Previously, he only had to work at the office. He’s establishing his own connections only now.
“Three years and counting,” you respond with your eyes straight ahead. 
You’re a year ahead of him in this industry then. He got his job at the VBA two years ago. “Three years, huh? Isn’t that when Tsukishima joined the team as well?”
“You’re really that close with him, huh?” You remark with intrigue as you two continue walking towards the exit.
“Taught the boy everything he knows about blocking,” he comments with a grin even though you’re not looking. 
Your rich laughter fills the empty hallway as you finally glance his way. “Why do you sound like a 40-year old man?”
“What can I say? I’m full of wisdom,” he counters immediately, causing you to raise an eyebrow to go with your amused smile.
“Forgive me, Mr. Promoter, but I have to say you're full of shit.”
He cackles uninhibitedly from your sharp-witted retort. He knows you have one hell of a personality based on the little interaction you had when he first met you, but you’re proving yourself to be a whole lot more than what he anticipated. 
“Am I that easy to read?” He asks with traces of his laughter still in his voice. You scrunch your nose quickly before smiling prettily at him. “I’m afraid so.”
As you two are about to reach the exit, he decides to just go for it. You’re getting more interesting and more interesting as he talks with you and there’s not really a rule that he’s not allowed to date people from the professional teams. 
Since the meeting is done, this right now is technically not part of his job anymore. He’s doing it to spend more time with you. 
“Actually, y/n. I have my car parked outside. If you don’t mind, I can drive you home instead,” he offers more at ease this time. 
He seems like a legitimately good person who can grasp your sense of humor and hold a fun conversation. Most importantly, you somehow feel comfortable around him. Besides, it would be nice if you don’t have to take the bus or hail a cab to go home. 
So you don’t take too long to decide. “Su-”
“Hey.” Someone cuts you off as you reach the outside of the Sendai Gymnasium. You look at your left where the familiar voice came from and see your favorite middle blocker. He’s still wearing the Sendai Frogs’ jacket, but now has pants on instead of their official shorts.
“Hey,” you respond with a puzzled look as to why he’s still there when you clearly remember he was seated at the back of the bus before you stepped out of it. 
“Tsukishima,” Kuroo acknowledges his presence cordially with a grin. 
Tsukki bows a bit to the promoter with an impassive expression, then looks at you again but doesn’t really say anything..
“What are you doing here?” you ask since he doesn’t look like he’s going to explain on his own. 
He doesn’t answer and remains silent with his eyes glued on you. Your brows furrow a bit as you ask again. “I said what are you-”
“Coach asked me to wait for you.”
You blink at him several times while holding his gaze. You look down for one quick second then turn to Kuroo with a huge, dumb smile on your face. “I’d have to pass tonight, Kuroo. Coach might worry if I don’t go with him,” you point to Tsukishima as you say it. 
Kuroo notices how you smile differently, more earnestly, with Tsukishima’s presence. He turns his attention to Tsukishima whose eyes are still on you despite the blank expression on the blonde’s face. 
Tsukishima said he’s there because their Coach said so but Kuroo doesn’t buy it one bit. He can’t imagine Tsukishima willingly abiding the Coach’s orders to play nanny for you. Unless Tsukishima himself wants to do so. 
Kuroo knows that you and Tsukishima are not dating. If you were, you wouldn’t be so surprised that he’s here waiting for you. But that gives Kuroo confirmation that something is going on with you two. 
He looks back at you and returns the smile. “No worries. Maybe next time?” He asks casually albeit the meaning behind that laid-back question. 
“Maybe,” you giggle softly as you answer. “I’ll see you around, Kuroo.” You give him a brief wave then head to Tsukishima’s side. The blonde, on the other hand, gives him a quick nod and bids him, “Good evening, Kuroo-san.” 
You turn to him as well, “Good night!” Then pour your whole attention to the other guy beside you as you two walk away from him. 
He remains where he is and watches your animated expression from afar. He really likes you. It’s too bad you like someone else though. 
When you two are out of his sight, he walks to where he parked his car. 
--
“So, Tsukki,” you grin at him. “Coach really is that concerned about me that she asked you to.. wait for me?” you ask with your tone dripping with amusement because you know that Coach will never ask that of someone, especially him. Coach Mira thinks he despises you and even if he doesn’t, she still wouldn’t. Coach Mira knows you can take care of yourself. 
“Shut up,” he says lowly, but nothing more. You’re expecting a snide response but it doesn’t come. 
“As thanks for last time, I’ll take you to your dorm,” he says with his eyes straight ahead.
You keep your gaze on him for a few more seconds then turn to the same direction he’s looking at. He never did thank you for it, but it’s not like you were expecting him to. You helped him get home out of concern both as his manager and his partner in class. 
You didn’t expect that he’d still be thinking about it even after a week. Although, it makes sense that he does. Obviously, he’s never been in that state wherein he needed help getting home. He probably feels like he’s indebted or something. 
Tsukishima glances briefly at how you’re still smiling even when you’re not talking. Earlier, he was battling himself on why he got off the bus and chose to wait for you. Sure, it’s pretty late, but it’s not like you can’t go home on your own. If he’d be honest, until now, he still doesn’t know why he chose to get left behind and stand outside for who knows how long. 
But seeing you as you are now, he knows he made the right decision to stay.
---
The timetable you planned for you and Tsukishima has long been messed up. You were supposed to finish this project a month ago. But a lot of things happened during your private meetings that you lost track of how you’re progressing along. 
It isn’t only until that afternoon where you receive the last write up you need from Tsukishima for the project that you’re made aware that today is your last day together. 
After you get the notification in your email, he glanced your way. 
“What else do you need?” he asks.
You try to think of what else he can contribute, but you come up with nothing. Everything is set. You’re just restructuring your output as a whole so it’s coherent. 
“Um. Nothing. We’re all good now,” you announce blandly instead of rejoicing that it will finally be over today. 
You look at Tsukishima and find him looking at your screen. “Let me look at it,” he says to verify if it is as good as you say it is. 
You slide a bit to your right so he can check the document himself. He skids in front of your laptop and scans the draft of the document you put up, checking for any possible room for improvement. 
But you really are exceptional in organizing reports. It’s as cohesive as it can be, which ultimately is good news for you and for him. The project will be done by tonight. “It is all good now,” he confirms. 
When he glances back at you, you two share the same look - dismal. He knows that the project will end, even the semester is coming to a close soon. But he did not anticipate that your last meeting is today. 
“Alright,” you break the uneasy air as you swat your hand to shoo him away. “Let me work this through so we can completely finish it.” 
He’s not certain whether you’re asking him to leave already since he’s done his part or you’re just making him go back to his own laptop. Not wanting to embarrass himself, he asks, “Should I pack up and leave now?”
You narrow your eyes with displeasure. “Of course not. You’ll stay here until I finish the damn thing, Tsukishima. Don’t think I’ll let you off the hook that easily.”
He doesn’t complain and remains impassive as you watch him return to his seat. He fights off the grin that was threatening to surface on his lips while he starts doing his requirements for another class.
When you see him comply, you return your attention to wrapping up the project. The truth is you can send him home already. You don’t need his presence to finish the report. You just want to keep him longer, one or two more hours will do. 
Then you longer have any reason to meet with him outside training hours. You’ll finally stop your private meetings along with your clandestine kisses. 
You’ll be back to being solely his manager.
Even though you still have a lot of things to do for another subject, you take your sweet time with what you’re doing. You start typing like an old man whose reading glasses no longer work. Then after you’re done, you conduct a spell check which you normally don’t do because you correct typos as you go along, not after the output is done. 
After an hour of dilly dallying around trying to clean the already clean word file, you reckon it’s time to let it go. 
You look at Tsukishima and softly call his name, “Tsukki.”
He stops typing and faces you. “Done?”
You nod with a faint smile. “Yeah, we’re done.” Done with the project and done with whatever you two had. 
“I already sent it to our professor as well,” you add. 
“I see.” He packs up quietly then stands up to leave. You stand up as well and open the door for him. You stopped opening the door for him when he leaves, but since this is the last, you thought it was fitting that you send him out. 
“Tsukishima.”
He pauses as you say his name, turning his head to face you and waits for what you’re going to say. You don’t really have anything to say though. You just stare at him. And he stares right back, his gaze studying your face carefully until it lands on your mouth. That’s when you figure out why you stopped him from leaving. 
You want a last kiss. 
When you started your agreement, you’ve never been afraid or shy to go for a kiss. Only now. 
“What is it, y/n?” he asks calmly even though his eyes are on your lips. You know he wants the same despite the apathetic demeanor. If not, he wouldn’t be looking at you as he is right now. 
Yet you don’t want to initiate. 
Obviously, neither does he.
It’s kind of stupid. After the countless kisses, none of you moves to instigate the last one. 
You don’t know how long you stare into each other, but since this seems to be going nowhere, you decided to just leave it as is. 
“Good night. I’ll see you in training,” you say instead. 
He seems to have recovered from his own daze as well when he responds with a dry, “Right,” before stepping out of your room.
You close the door behind him with a certain gloom you can’t make sense of. Months ago, you two wanted nothing more than to finish this project. Now that you’re finally free of each other, you feel... sad?
Ridiculous. 
You shake it off and get back to what you’re supposed to be doing. You and Tsukishima had good teamwork. Although he has some rude comments here and there, they usually have no bite to them. Other than that, he was easy to work and hang around with. The liplocking was just a fun perk. Nothing more, nothing less. 
--
You enter the gym and find that not much of the team is there yet. It’s Kogane, Tsukishima, Eiji, and Coach who’s only there.
You put your bag in one of the benches and get your report on the previous match of the team. You walk towards Coach Mira and hand it to her. “Thanks, y/n,” she says with a pleasant smile she doesn’t show to anyone else from the team. “Can you set up the other net?” She asks while going over the report you gave her.
“Yes, Coach,” you answer agreeably then head to the other side of the court. You pull up a stool chair and stand on it as you tie the net to the pole.
“Y/n.”
You’re startled by Tsukishima’s voice behind you that the chair along with your ankles shake when you flinch. You try to grab the pole to steady yourself but you can’t reach it anymore. 
“Shit!” You curse beneath your breath and just accept you’ll flat on your butt. But instead of falling, you feel a pair of huge hands on your waist that thwarts your ass kissing the floor. 
“What are you doing?” You hear Tsukishima ask impertinently as he gently eases you back on the chair. “Do you need help getting down?” he follows up with his hands still on your waist. 
You turn around carefully and place your hands on his shoulders to support yourself as you jump down on your own. You grin at him which is probably why he takes his hands off you. You turn around to tighten the bottom part of the net. 
“Did you need something?” You ask as you continue tying the knot. You finish what you’re supposed to do and he still hasn’t answered so you face him again. 
“What’s up, Tsukki?” You’re a bit confused why he’s silent when he’s the one who came up to you. 
“Can you tape my fingers?” 
The situation reverses and now, you’re the one who’s not responding. Three years as their manager and he’s never asked for help taping his finger. 
“Uhh. Sure. Do you have your bandage with you?”
He gets it from the right pocket of his jacket and gives it to you. You get it and take his right hand to tape it first. Even though this is the first time he’s asked you to do it, you’ve done it before with Coach’s orders. Every single time you do, he has a disgruntled look on his face as he does his best for his eyes not to land on any part of your face. 
But now, you can feel him staring at you while you work on his fingers.
“Something on my face, Tsukishima?” You ask teasingly. 
“Yeah. You still have coffee on your chin,” he answers seriously. 
You stop abruptly and shove the bandage on his palm to hastily wipe your chin. “Is it still there?” You look up to him as you ask.
He presses his lips together before he looks to the side. However, you catch the sligh tug in the corner of his mouth prior to turning away. 
“What? Did I not get it?” You ask a bit worriedly as you try to remember the people you greeted on your way here. You beamed cheerfully at them and all this time, you had a smidge of coffee on your chin.
 His shoulders start shaking and you can hear his suppressed laughter as he’s turned away from you. 
You narrow your eyes at him and cross your arms. “You’re fucking with me, aren’t you?”
He returns his gaze at you with an entertained smirk. “If you stopped drinking coffee like it’s water then maybe you wouldn’t fall for such a simple ploy.”
You give him a sarcastic smile as you yank his hand to continue taping him. “Real mature, Tsukishima,” you remark dryly.
“You’re one to talk,” he instantly counters. 
You snort and shake your head amusedly. In the past, you’d think it’s an insult, but at present, you can tell that it’s just benign banter.
While you tape his hands, there’s comfortable silence between you two that you only feel when you’re seated beside each other when you’re doing the project. You didn’t expect you’d feel it again even when you’re in the gym with other people around.
You’re almost done with his left hand when you hear Coach Mira call you. “Coming, Coach!” you yell from where you are and finish the tape on his middle finger. 
“And it’s done,” you grin briefly at him then turn to where Coach is.
Before you go, you hear him utter a low, “Thanks.”
A faint smile forms on your face as you saunter back to Coach. When you reach her, she frowns a bit at you. 
Your smile disappears, thinking that you made some error that Coach caught after you submitted it to her. “What’s wrong, Coach? Is something off with the report?” You ask a bit troubled. 
“No. It’s perfect as usual,” she remarks commendably. 
You ease up knowing that your write up is still quintessential. “What else can I do to help?” Since there’s nothing wrong with the report, she must need help for another task. 
“Actually, I wanted to ask if you’re dating Tsukishima.”
Now you wish there’s something wrong with the file you submitted instead. You’d prefer that than having Coach suspect there’s something like that between you and Tsukishima. 
Nothing’s going on with you two except for the project you had together. Usually, you don’t give a shit what other people think of you. But not Coach.  You don’t feel comfortable that she is dubious of your relationship with the blonde middle blocker. 
“What made you ask, Coach?” you ask, wondering where she got the idea.
“You two seem more.. I don’t know,” she struggles for the next words while you wait anxiously for it. “more at ease with each other now,” she continues.
You feign a laugh and respond casually. “I’m just messing with him as usual,” you lie because it’s the other way around. 
Coach glances back at Tsukishima then at you. “He looks like he’s enjoying it this time though. He’s even staring at you when I called you here.”
You turn your head his way and see him practicing his serve already. You face Coach again and smile bemusedly. “I wonder why.” You really have no idea why he was staring. 
Coach studies your face for a few seconds then shrugs. “Alright. I’ll let you get back to work instead of being a nosy middle-aged woman,” she smiles at you then returns to the report you gave her.
You nod politely then turn around to go to the stockroom. When you’re almost there, you glance discreetly to Tsukishima and reflect on Coach Mira’s suspicion.
Does it really seem like you have that relationship with him?
--
You thought of doing your uni requirements in the library today for a new work setting. As you’re approaching the entrance of the library, you open your bag to get your ID. 
Several minutes of rummaging your bag and you still can’t find it. 
Shit! Did you lose it?
The last time you actually saw it when you used it to enter the bar. Did you drop it from your pocket? But you put it in your back pocket so you won’t accidentally lose it when you get your phone.
You close your bag and try to remember the whole night. Who were the people you talked to? 
A lot. You talked to a lot of people but you really had no reason to take your ID out. 
You can only think of two possible ways you lost it. First was in the cab with Tsukishima. You shifted too much on your seat that it may have slid out of your back pocket. Second would be in their restroom where you changed clothes. 
You get your phone and text Tsukishima. 
‘Tsukki! By any chance, did I leave my id there or sumthin? >_<’
Tsukishima hears his message tone as he descends their stairs. He waits until he reaches their couch and then opens his phone to read the message. 
ID? Did you lose it?
Even if you did, you shouldn’t be too worried since it’s almost graduation. You won’t need it anymore. 
He types in his reply. 
‘Why bother finding it? You won’t need it soon.’
“Kei.” 
He lifts his gaze from his phone before sending it when he hears his brother’s voice. “What is it?” he asks. 
Akiteru sits on the other couch adjacent to the one he’s sitting on. “Any plans after graduation?”
He’d feel pressured and irritated from the question if it was asked by someone else. “I have an interview at the Sendai Museum next week,” he answers blankly despite feeling a bit certain of applying for the post. 
“I didn’t know you were already looking for a job. That’s great though!” Akiteru comments brightly.
“Yeah,” he answers lowly then looks down on his phone again. “Alright, then. I was just curious.” His brother smiles caringly then stands up. 
“Nii-san,” he calls before Akiteru leaves the room. 
“Yes?” His brother looks at him still smiling.
“Did you see an ID that’s not mine around?” he asks ambiguously because he doesn’t want to mention your name on the high chance that Akiteru hadn’t seen it. His older brother has bugged him about it non-stop after you took him home last week. He doesn’t want to remind Akiteru about it unnecessarily.  
“Silly me! I forgot to tell you. The other day, mom saw y/n’s university ID in the washing machine when she was hanging clothes. She gave it to me because you were still not home then. I’ll give it to you in your room later,” Akiteru grins widely then waves at him before heading up the stairs.
He’s relieved that he heard no more than that. He was honestly expecting more teasing, but fortunately, his brother seems to have toned it down now.
He gets to his phone again and types instead. 
‘Yeah. It’s here.’
Not more than a minute later, he receives your response already. 
‘Can u bring it in class or training? :D’
He easily types ‘Okay’ since it’s just a small favor. Then when he’s about to send it, his thumb hovers above the send button. 
He deletes it and sends a different reply.
‘No.’
You frown when you read his response. You thought he’s somehow warmed up at you already but seems like he’s back to being a salty ass. It’s just an ID. It weighs like nothing and can fit in his pocket. What’s the deal?
You’re drafting your reply when he sends another text message.
You quickly tap the notification that briefly flashed on top of your screen and raise your brows when you completely read it. 
‘Get it yourself. It’s in my room.’
After a few seconds, you shake your head and chuckle at what he meant with his superficially rude message. 
Tsukishima, you smooth tsundere bastard.

Walking In On Your Fave Anime Blondes Singing Along to Dolly Parton’s “Dumb Blonde”
Content Includes: Honestly, this could be read as either platonic or romantic- it’s basically borderline crack meant to give you a smile and some laughs. All underaged characters are aged up to 18+. Gender neutral reader, some language
Characters Included: Armin Arlert, Kurapika Kurta, Hawks/Takami Keigo, Tsukishima Kei, Gojou Satoru, Bakugou Katsuki
“Just because I’m blonde, don’t think I’m dumb. Because this dumb blonde ain’t nobody’s fool.”
Armin
Tumblr media
This is actually his power song
Before important meetings and strategy sessions where he’s slated be a big presenter, you’ll always hear him mumbling the same words over and over again under his breath, but you can never make out what they are
Until one day when you’re able to connect the dots 
One such meeting was coming up, and you leave for it before Armin does
He had just told you that he’s not quite ready to leave yet, but doesn’t explain why
You don’t think much about it and carry on, until you realize that you left a part of your harness at home and have to turn back
As you walk back through the door, you notice the sound of singing coming from his bedroom
The voice is distinctively Armin’s, and seeing as you’ve never heard him sing before, you’re actually quite excited
You sneak in as quietly as possible, and much to your amusement, you find him singing to himself in the mirror, pointing back at himself and belting the words almost aggressively
“Because this dumb blonde ain’t nobody’s fool!”
You wanted to sneak away and pretend you never saw anything, but you can’t resist bursting out into laughter
He jumps around and yelps, his face turning cherry red
“Y/N! I thought you left! I, um...I- this was...”
“Oh, my god.” A realization dawns on you. “Is that what you’re always whispering under your breath when you’re nervous?”
“Um...yeah. It just makes me feel stronger, I guess. I know, it’s so stupid...”
“No, it’s so cute! I promise,” you assure him. “And it’s fitting.”
“Really?”
“Of course! Even though you’re blonde, there’s not a dumb bone in your body.” You wrap him in a hug. “And you definitely aren’t anybody’s fool. Never let yourself be convinced otherwise.”
Kurapika
Tumblr media
He’s had a bad day at work.
A really bad day.
He bursts through the front door one evening, eyes bright crimson, absolutely raving about how sick he was of being pushed around and treated like he’s less than he is, spewing out ultimatums such as “To hell with the intel, I’m never going back to being a bodyguard ever again.”
To cheer him up and to get away until his anger could simmer down, you offer go pick up his favorite meal
And as you approach the door with the food in hand, you hear something odd on the other side
You cautiously open the door and peer inside, discovering Kurapika yelling along to the popular song
No, seriously- yelling
There’s no sense of song to his cadence whatsoever, he’s just hollering louder than you’ve ever thought him capable of
He’s also pulled out a basket of laundry and has started throwing it around the room as he continues on his rampage
(It was the least destructive thing he could take his anger out on)
You tiptoe over to put the food on the counter, but he’s still yet to notice you
When he shows no signs of stopping, his eyes growing redder by the second, you eventually clear your throat
“Pika, what are you doing?”
He stops with a jolt, the ending notes of the song fading away in the background
The red of his eyes drops down to his face as he realizes what you just saw
“y/n...how long have you been standing there?”
“Since the first chorus.” You choke down a giggle. “I didn’t know you liked that song.”
“I don’t, I just...” He rubs the back of his neck. “Silly as this is, it’s just the best way I’ve found to relieve my petty stress in a safe way.”
“So... this is something you do often?”
His face grows so red you think it might burst. “...yes.”
You two stare at each other for a few moments, then simultaneously burst into laughter
The kind where your entire body shakes, your stomach hurts, and tears spill from your eyes
When he doubles over to catch his breath, you cross the room to wrap him in a hug, rocking back and forth
“Can I join in next time?” you teasingly ask. “It looks fun.”
Kurapika wipes his cheeks and rolls his eyes with a smile. “Sure, why not? Just don’t tell anyone else.”
Hawks
Tumblr media
This was the first time you had ever slept over with Keigo, and what he listens to while getting ready comes as quite a surprise.
He gets up before you do, and you wake to hear strange music coming through the closed bathroom door
You tiptoe over to see what’s going on, sliding the door open as quietly as possible
Not that he would’ve heard you, anyway, because as he’s doing his eyeliner, he’s humming along to the blaring Dolly Parton hit, swaying his hips in time with the beat
When the song reaches its defining line, he pulls the eyeliner pen away from his face and throws his head back, wailing the lyrics to the ceiling with comedic passion
You stifle your laughter behind your hand as he returns to his task, still  oblivious to your presence
Picking a choice moment to reveal yourself, you burst fully into the bathroom and fix him with a mischievous look
“Whatcha listening to?”
He jumps in shock when he spots you, leaving a streak of eyeliner down his cheek
“Fuck!” He exclaims, pouting at the black stripe. “How long have you been standing there?”
“Long enough,” you tease.
“I mean, it’s not what it looks like.” He avoids eye contact, hunting around for makeup remover. “Don’t you just have a random song that gets you motivated, no matter how stupid it is?”
“You don’t have to be embarrassed.” You hoist yourself up onto the bathroom counter next to him. “Dolly Parton is amazing. ‘Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Joleeeeeeene’.”
“You know what? She is. You’re so right.” He points his eyeliner at you, nodding in aggressive approval. “See? This is why I like you.”
And you can bet your ass that every time you get in the car together from here on out, you’re blaring Dolly Parton
There have been several instances when you’ve shown up to missions with it pounding from the speakers as you sleekly step out of the car, ready to apprehend any villains that dare to cross the pair of you
And it’s the most badass thing ever.
Tsukishima
Tumblr media
At this point in your relationship, you thought you had learned all of Tsukishima’s secrets.
You were wrong.
It starts completely innocently, with the two of you going with Yamaguchi for a boba run
And when Tsukishima settles into the driver’s seat, his phone auto-connects to the speakers and sends familiar country twangs through the car at a volume that prompts you to clap your hands over your ears
“Shit!” he mutters, fumbling around, unsure which would do the most damage control: changing the song or muting the volume
“Kei,” you guffaw, “what the hell were you listening to?”
“It was an ad,” he insists, eventually managing to get the volume to a favorable range and select a less-embarrassing song choice
“Don’t let him fool you, Y/N.” Yamaguchi’s head pokes between the two front seats. “Dumb Blonde is one of his favorite songs.”
“And don’t listen to how idiotic Yamaguchi’s being,” Tsukishima bites back, but the pink tinge growing over the top of his ears betrays his lie.
“It’s been one of his top five most played songs for about three years now,” Yamaguchi continues. “I think he relates to it.”
“You’re kidding!”
At this point, you can’t control your giggles, and Kei’s jaw grows tighter by the second
“Yeah, and once he has a couple of drinks in him, he’ll shamelessly belt the hell out of it at karaoke.” Yamaguchi’s gaze flickers to his phone as his finger rapidly scrolls. “Here, I have a video.”
“Yamaguchi, don’t you dare-”
Tsukishima reaches a long arm out to steal the phone, but you grab his hand before he can take it
“Aht aht, Tsukki,” you tease. “You have two passengers that you’re responsible for. Eyes on the road, please.”
As he glowers, Yamaguchi shows you a glorious video of Tsukishima absolutely wailing out the Dolly Parton hit into a karaoke microphone, the teammates around him laughing so hard that they almost appeared to be choking
“That’s amazing!” You squeal, belly hurting from so much laughter. “But I can’t believe that video didn’t spread around like wildfire.”
“Bold of you to assume that I don’t have worse blackmail to use against all of them,” Kei snaps.
“Well, you should know that you’re never going to live this down as far as I’m concerned.”
“I don’t know why it’s such a big deal. Everyone has guilty pleasures.” By this point, his face is the same shade as a tomato, but he fixes you with a knife-like gaze that strikes fear into your heart. “Shall I start listing yours?”
Gojou
Tumblr media
(i know he’s technically silver/platinum but he just has blonde energy okay)
The last thing you expect to come home to after a long day of work is Dolly Parton music blaring through your home
And you expect even less to find Gojou standing on the couch, belting the song at the top of his lungs
Beyond the initial shock, you have to admit that he actually sounds quite good, hitting each note to perfection and performing the song with subtle corresponding choreography
“Gojou!” You eventually shout. “What the hell are you doing?”
“Oh, good! You’re home.” He deftly hops off the couch and approaches you with a grin. “I’ve been wanting your opinion on my act.”
“Your act?”
“Yes! The school staff has an annual karaoke contest coming up. I do this song every year, and it’s undefeated.”
“Every year? How have I never known about this?”
“I actually don’t have any idea. I have videos. I’ll show them to you, if you’d like.”
“You’re a little too proud of that,” you giggle. “But if it’s undefeated, why do you need my opinion on it?”
“Because everyone always conspires to try and beat me. I have to keep it fresh. But lately, it’s just been feeling stale.” He furrows his brows, a finger going to his chin in contemplation.
“How are you so serious about this but so carefree when you’re literally about to die?” You grab his elbows and give them a small shake. “Anyway, what I saw certainly didn’t seem stale. Seems like you were having a pretty good time.”
“A good time just isn’t enough anymore...”
You clap a hand over your mouth to stifle your laughter as he paces around the room, more serious than you’d ever seen him
Over a karaoke contest to a Dolly Parton song
He snaps his fingers as he finally comes to his realization, approaching you with a sinister smile
“I’ve got it! You should perform it with me.”
“Are you serious? No! No no no.”
“Come on, don’t be so closed-minded.” Gojou grabs your hand and yanks you up onto the couch with him. “Give it a shot.”
After much protesting on your part and much silly encouragement on his, you try it out to pacify him, and end up being quite the dynamic duo
As he wished, you perform the comedic act at the karaoke contest, and satisfy Gojou by maintaining his undefeated record
“You know that you owe me big time now, right?” you ask as he admires the cheap trophy he’s just been handed.
He grins, draping his long arm over your shoulders. “Anything you want, you’ve got it.”
Bakugou
Tumblr media
Bakugou discovers the song after Kirishima and Denki put it on his playlist as a joke
Denki had the bright idea to give Bakugou the nickname “dumb blonde” and figured that the prank would be the start of it all
Needless to say, it didn’t go over very well
There was yelling
And a few punches thrown
You eventually have to pull him away, imploring him to calm down
“I’m not going to calm down until that piece of shit is off my playlist.”
You promptly take his phone and hold it in front of him, removing the offending song
“See? Gone. Now please chill out.”
Flash-forward to a week or so later
You happen to walk into the gym for a late night run on the treadmill while he’s there doing weights
Since he was alone before you entered, his music is hooked up to the central sound system, blaring some heavy metal song as he softly hums along in time with his breaths
You don’t think anything of it, giving him a small wave and going to put your own earbuds in
Until the barely-perceptible lyrics seem a little familiar
You pause to listen for a moment, and shoot him a look of shock when you realize that he is, in fact, listening to a heavy metal cover of Dumb Blonde.
“Is this-”
“Shut up,” he snaps, avoiding eye contact and continuing to pump the machine with frightening intensity.
“How did you even find a cover like this?”
“Shut. Up.”
“I’m just so-”
“It just helps me work out, okay?” He lets the weight drop with a sharp clang. “Don’t you fucking dare tell anyone about this.”
You raise your hands in surrender. “I wasn’t planning on it.”
“Good. Now get on with your workout and let me finish mine.”
He focuses his fiery gaze on the faraway wall, but strangely doesn’t bother to change or turn off the song
And you can’t resist pulling your phone out, pretending to take a selfie while you’re actually, in fact, filming him behind you
“I can see you, stupid,” he snaps. “I’m serious. I’ll fucking kill you.”
You jump in fear, the phone falling from your hands.
“I wasn’t!” You fib. “Besides, it’s away now.”
But little did he know, you had already captured everything you needed to see, and the footage was already on its way to Kirishima and Denki
You know that you’re beyond dead once he finds out what you had done, but the amusement of it all is beyond worth it
Besides, maybe now he’d think twice before the next time he makes fun of someone.

hiii, can i request a hc with bukuto, kenma, kuroo and tsukki (AH IF THATS TOO MANY U CAN TAKE SOME OUT AHH) w a fem s/o who’s insecure ab her body 👉🏻👈🏻 i’m going thru some image issues and i want some of my fav boys reassurance
Bokuto, Kenma, Kuroo, and Tsukishima x fem!Reader - Body Image Insecurity Headcanons
a/n: hey anon!! just want you (and all my readers) to know, i believe you are all inherently and unchangeably beautiful inside and out. let me know if you need to talk and know that i’m always happy to provide haikyuu boy sweetness for u <3
warnings: addresses body image insecurities, anxiety
total wc: 960
---
Bokuto:
you’re standing in front of the mirror, examining yourself again
it’s easy for you to pick yourself apart, deeming yourself too much in one place but not enough in another
what you don’t see is the adoring gaze from the doorway, silently watching you
he’s smiling until he catches a glimpse of your face
your usually etheral glow is replaced by a look of dejection and misery
the body that daily captivates and charms the grey-haired boy was being rejected by its owner. It’s caretaker
and before you can even react to the padding of footsteps behind you, Bokuto has wrapped his strong arms around your middle
he’s uncharacteristically quiet, but it soothes you
“You…” He kisses your hair, “are lovely.”
“You,” Turning you around to face him, “are stunning.”
“And you,” He’s kissing away little tears that spill out, “are so damn fine, y/n!” He exclaims through his most authentic grin, knowing you tend to copy his expressions out of pure habit
and it works
you smile, laughing at that last comment through a soft sob
he just holds you for a while
“You’ve gotten better with your compliments lately, Bo.” You note, tears having finally subsided
“I’ve had some great teachers… but an even better specimen.” He says cheekily, but you can tell he’s serious.
and to finish, he adds, 
“And I’m so glad you’re mine. I love you... everything about you, really.”
Kenma:
Kozume is pretty damn smart.
there aren’t many things he doesn’t pick up on
especially when it comes to you
the way you speak about yourself and, more specifically, your body
how you joke about what you gained/lost in the past month
how that one shirt never fits quite right, but it’s your fault for letting yourself get that way
you laugh when you speak about it, but Kenma couldn’t be less convinced by it
he wishes you could see yourself how he saw you
so he takes some relationship advice from Kuroo,
“Just write her a letter! Girls love letters, trust me.”
so he sets down his Gameboy (a truly dedicated bf) and gets to writing over the course of the week
that weekend, before you start your day, you see an envelope attached to your mirror
your curiosity is piqued and you immediately open it
your heart is being flooded with intricate words and details
Kenma somehow managed to document all the little bits and pieces he loves about you
from how you wake up in the morning to the weird way you order food at that one restaurant, it’s all there
paragraph after paragraph, you’re being affirmed. noticed. known. and he leaves your body for last, reminding you that he loves that part of you too.
he loves how you move and how change isn’t bad, that your body is meant to be protected and cherished
and that he’s there to love you. the you that’s on the inside and the one on the outside too
Kuroo:
you’re trying on outfit after outfit for a gathering tonight
jeans don’t fit right today, dresses seem to hang oddly, and shirts pull in areas you didn’t even realize they could
Kuroo, waiting patiently on the bed and scrolling on his phone, notices your struggle
as the clothes become a huge mass on your floor, your frustrations begin to spill out with them
you curse angrily under your breath, holding up a shirt in front of your exposed body
Kuroo looks up and immediately notices how short your breath is getting
“Kuroo… I can’t do it. I don’t want to go out. I’m sorry.” You're getting teary, “I’m really sorry.”
“Hey, heyyy, let’s stay here tonight, okay? Let’s just hangout.”
he lets you slip on something you’re more comfortable in and leads you back to the bed
he sets up Netflix and he makes sure to cradle you in his arms, his body warm against yours
“It’s more fun with just me anyway, isn’t it?” He jokes, gauging how bad you really feel right now
when you don’t respond, he pushes the laptop away from your lap
he just begins to give you little kisses across your face
when you seem more comfortable, he places kisses into your palms and up and down your forearm
this leads to him tracing your hips and arms and legs, commenting on just how perfect every inch of you is
he has a one-sided conversation with you, just him explaining how lucky he is to have such a “hot girlfriend” with the most perfect body
he comments on how well you take care of it, how beautiful your skin is, how unique you are
and finally, once he’s affirmed every physical part of you, he captures your lips in a gentle kiss that seems to say:
“And I mean every word of it.”
Tsukki:
he may not say it, but Tsukishima believes you are something to behold
you stood up to his abrasive personality, spoke your mind with him, and chose to stick by his side even at his angriest, lowest moments
Tsukki admires almost no one. but you? you’re the exception.
you are strong, passionate, and charming… attributes Tsukki didn’t feel he possessed
so when he realized that you lacked confidence in your physique, he was so perplexed
for someone so brilliant, how could you have gotten it into your head that you weren’t also beautiful?
he actually feels insulted lmao
when you both started dating, he wordlessly promised that he would fight anyone that ever tried to hurt you
but you’re beating yourself down
so i guess he has to fight you, now?
he goes about this strategically
you’re checking yourself out in the mirror?
“Oye, stupid, you look great, let’s go.”
you make a self-deprecating comment to yourself?
he’ll kiss you before you can finish your sentence, even if you’re in public
you visibly try to hide parts of your body in public?
Tsukki has his arm around you, tucking you into him like a little duckling, just to make you feel a bit little safer
yeah, his attempts to distract and deter self-hate leave you flustered, but slowly you catch yourself being kinder to yourself
and, for that, you can’t complain about your irritating, but loving boyfriend

jealous || kei tsukishima x reader
summary ♡ songfic! kageyama cheats on you and since tsukishima has had to suppress his crush on you for so long, he doesn’t know how to act
song ♡ jealous by eyedress
tw ♡ angst, cheating, cussing, fem! reader, violence 
part two ♡ crybaby ( 1 / 2 )
Tumblr media
‘you could have anyone you want, why would you want to be with me?’
Tsukishima thought, watching as you finished telling him the story behind your broken nail, waving him goodbye before skipping over to the side of your boyfriend who just exited the changing rooms, probably to go tell him the exact same story. 
Although your little stories annoyed the living hell out of him, it pained him to think that you’d share them with some cunt like Kageyama who probably didn’t give two shits. 
It might’ve seemed like he was annoyed by your stories too but in reality, your natural charm was enough to keep him hooked on every word you uttered. And that charm was probably the reason you were liked and known by almost everyone in the school - and due to your appearance, it was no surprise that most guys at the school had their eyes set on you. 
So this whole time Tsukishima was aware that there would be competition if he was going to ask you out. 
 ‘you know, i’m nothing special. be with whoever you want.’ 
Tobio Kageyama. Number nine, Karasuno’s first line-up setter - Tsukishima’s teammate. Of course, Tsukishima felt quite bad that he resented Kageyama so much - all over a girl - but in his defence, that girl was (Y/N) and it’s not like Kageyama was humble about it either. In fact, he’d make it a point to talk about all the things he did with (Y/N) whenever he thought Tsukishima was in earshot.
Also, you can’t blame Tsukishima for thinking that you were too good for Kageyama.. because you are. The only reason you two were together was because all the girls started shipping you two together after a video of him as your partner for a rather titillating salsa routine started floating around the school. 
The people saying that y’all would make a cute couple gave Kageyama the confidence to ask you out and of course you said yes; why wouldn’t you? Kageyama was the embodiment of everything girls loved: tall, atheletic, passionate (for volleyball), a himbo, cold and emotionally unavailable. 
While Tsukishima was almost identical; he was 4 out of those 6 things that girls loved - he wasn’t a himbo, fortunately. Neither was he emotionally unavailable. You even said yourself one time - before you formally met Kageyama - that you just thought he was a flavourless version of Tsukishima.
‘i don’t care. i don’t care.’
Perhaps it was just his ego speaking but Tsukishima was almost certain that if he were to have asked you out before Kageyama, you would’ve said yes. 
So, why didn’t he?
Well, he planned on asking you to be his girlfriend the same day that Kageyama did - Valentine’s Day - but at the last minute, he chickened out and the letter he had spent 3 hours making for you ended up in the trash. As for the chocolates he bought, he gave them to Yamaguchi. Curse his crippling insecurities! 
To be fair, the only reason Kageyama had the confidence or any interest in you whatsoever was due to all the girls perpetuating the idea that y’all would be a cute couple.
Tsukishima sighed as he recalled the first time you ever interacted with Kageyama. You had a dance project which involved creating your own salsa routine and either filming yourself doing it or performing it in front of the class - you asked Tsukishima if he’d assist you by being your dance partner and obviously he said no. Your next best bet was Hinata, so you explained your situation to him and as you know; where ever there is Hinata, there is Kageyama. So he overheard your dilemma and apparently he took dance classes all throughout middle school so he offered to help. Although you had never talked to Kageyama before that day, you still accepted his offer due to the tricky situation you were in.
It frustrated Tsukishima so much at the thought that if he had just swallowed his pride and danced with you, he wouldn’t be feeling a striking pain in his chest at the sight of you intimately kissing Kageyama while he stood there like a statue.
Once he realised what he was doing, he immediately averted his eyes, a sigh escaping his lips as he tried to convince himself that he was neutral about what he just witnessed. 
He didn’t care that you were dating someone who didn’t even care about you. He didn’t care about the fact he would’ve treated you ten times better than Kageyama ever could. He didn’t care about how close you were to Kageyama. He was simply unable to give a single fuck about the fact he still loved you. 
‘i don’t wanna know. don’t tell me about your problems if you’re not trying to solve them.’
“And then I told him to fuck off and my mum got all mad and she was like ‘don’t swear at a 6 year-old!’ but then I was like, ‘Mum, he literally-” 
Tsukishima rolled his eyes, you’ve been rambling to him about your shitty experiences babysitting for a good few minutes now but he was simply unable to pay attention. Not when every time he thought of you, his mind instantly focussed on the bruise you had on your neck which he had merely caught a glimpse of this morning, but that was enough to make him feel sick to his stomach. “Do you ever stop talking? Why not tell these stories to someone who cares? Where’s Kageyama?”
You pouted, crossing your arms over your chest and leaning back in your chair - by now, you were used to him being a bitch to you but recently, he’s been acting especially rude, even Yamaguchi was taken back at how uncalled for his remark was.  “Did I do something wrong? Why are you so mean all of a sudden?”
Something about your disappointed tone made Tsukishima’s heart sink, although he wasn’t sure why that was considering he undoubtedly didn’t care about how you felt - you could start crying for all he cared. 
“You’re just way more annoying than you used to be.” That was the first excuse Tsukishima could come up with but if he was being completely honest, he didn’t even notice his change in behaviour. “It’s probably all that time hanging out shittyama.”
“Tsukki!” Yamaguchi snapped, hunching forward over his table to flick his blonde friend on the back of his neck. “I agree with (Y/N), you’ve been kinda crass lately.”
You nodded at Yamaguchi’s statement, “Emphasis on the ass.” 
It took every bone in Tsukishima’s body to resist snickering at your stupid comment and keep a straight face, “Can you blame me? (Y/N) is the one who never stops complaining like geez, get a grip - nobody cares.”
‘don’t ask me for my help. fix it yourself.’
Honestly, Tsukishima wasn’t surprised when you ended up calling him at 1am, crying about how Kageyama cheated on you.
I mean, it was clear that he was only with you for sexual relief as he didn’t show the slightest bit of romantic interest in anyone - and you were too blinded by puppy love to notice that his perception didn’t widen beyond volleyball. 
In a way, Tsukishima felt quite bad for you as this was your first relationship and anybody would be heartbroken if they were cheated on but somehow he had managed to gaslight himself into believing that he truly didn’t give a fuck about how you felt. That’s why the call definitely didn’t go as well as he hoped. 
“Kei..” You spoke in a low voice in hopes that he wouldn’t realise that you were crying straight away but your faint sobs were a dead giveaway. “Are you busy?”
Tsukishima grumbled, sitting up on his bed and sliding his glasses up his nose, not having taken them off as just before you called him he was scrolling through Reddit anyway. “Eh? What is so important that you had to call me at 3 in the morning?”
“Kageyama cheated on me!” You wailed into your phone, struggling to keep it together even when you weren’t with Tsukishima face-to-face. “S-Sorry I called you. I just, um, I just needed to tell someone and the first person I thought of was you.” That wasn’t a complete lie. I mean, you did try calling Yamaguchi before you resorted to calling Tsukishima because Yamaguchi would undeniably be more compassionate in this situation. However, if it wasn’t for Tsukishima’s recent attitude problems, you probably would’ve called him first,
Upon hearing you say that, his heart fluttered - this should’ve been the first giveaway that he still liked you - but he chose to ignore it, sticking to the idea that you annoyed him and he definitely did not want to kiss your forehead, cuddle you under his sheets and reassure you that you’re out of Kageyama’s league anyway.
“Sorry, (Y/N).” Tsukishima spoke softly. This change of tone giving you the slightest bit of hope that you had finally managed to get through to him and maybe he was going to stop being so insolent and go back to being his old self - the Tsukishima that people actually liked. 
“Kei..” You mused, feeling your cheeks heat up at how nice and soothing his tired voice sounded. “I thi--”
“But that doesn’t sound like my problem. Good luck in dealing with it yourself, though.” 
With that last comment, he hung up, leaving you more upset than you were to begin with. 
‘she tried to call me yesterday but i didn’t pick up because i don’t got time.’
Tension was high at practice. Word had gotten out that Kageyama cheated on (L/N) and of course everyone’s opinion on him did a full 180 - nobody wants to train with a dirty cheater. 
This news should’ve been the highlight of Tsukishima’s month because not only is (Y/N) back on the market, Kageyama is getting the treatment he deserved for being so horrible to him and (Y/N). 
However, Tsukishima was far from pleased with everyone’s behaviour towards Kageyama because now they were all expecting confrontation and since Tsukishima was the one who already had beef with Kageyama, the team thought it would be best if it was him who approached the setter about the recent event. 
A horrible idea, in Tsukishima’s opinion. It wasn’t even the fact that he didn’t want to go any where near that milkboy but mostly because he didn’t even know what he’d say to the guy. What do you say in that situation? ‘Hey, man. We’d really appreciate it if you stopped being such a whore. It’s really killing the vibe.’
But lo and behold, here he was, standing across from Kageyama in the empty changing room. Desperately wracking through his brain to find the most appropriate thing to say, which was hard as Kageyama’s stare seemed to burn holes through Tsukishima’s glasses. Also, his mind was already pretty occupied by all the thoughts of how badly he wanted to beat the milkboy to the ground in (Y/N)’s honour. 
“What do you want, Tiredshima?” Kageyama inquired, scrunching up his empty milk box and casually throwing it aside, aiming for the bin but it ended up landing a few inches away from it.
Tsukishima tried to resist laughing at the milkboy’s failed attempt to look cool, “It’s-” Tsukishima wheezed slightly as a little bit of that laughter escaped before he took a moment to properly compose himself, “It’s about (Y/N)-”
At the mere mention of your name, the milkboy dipped. 
“Uh, where the fuck do you think you’re going?” Tsukishima spat, hastily reaching out to grab Kageyama’s wrist, yanking him back as soon as Tsukishima got a good grip on him. Resulting in the usually agile setter losing his balance and falling back, right onto his ass. 
“Don’t touch me!” Kageyama roared, rapidly scrambling to his feet, clenching his fist and snarling at Tsukishima who wore an astounded expression. “Do you have it out for me or something? What does (Y/N) have to do with anything?”
It was shocking how well Kageyama managed to paint the situation to make it seem like he was the innocent one when he was the one who broke a poor school girl’s heart after she showed him nothing but love - but Tsukishima wasn’t one to talk since he probably just added salt to her wound, like he always does, and he’d been thinking about it all night.
“Sorry, your highness, but maybe if you hopped off your throne for a moment and came down to reality to join the rest of us, you’d realise that the world doesn’t revolve around you. Do you know how much your shitty actions affected (Y/N)? She called me crying last night and..yeah.” His voice slowly drifted off as he remembered the events that occurred yesterday, you had called him in a vulnerable state and he simply told you to get to fuck.
Kageyama scoffed, brushing off the dust that clung to his clothes from when he was pulled to the ground, “Eh? Maybe you should practise what you preach.” Kageyama growled, baring his teeth - the little nickname Tsukishima had for him seriously made his blood boil. “She’d come to me on the verge of tears because you called her annoying and she thought you didn’t want to be her friend anymore.”
Tsukishima felt his heart tear apart at the thought of himself causing you so much emotional distress but you were half right, he didn’t want to be your friend - the wanted to be your boyfriend. If it wasn’t for a certain setter who’s name starts with ‘K’ and ends with ‘ageyama’, none of this would’ve happened and you’d happily be snuggled up in his arms while he played with your hair but no, Kageyama just had to get his dirty little setter hands on anything good.
“I mean,” Kageyama muttered, having clearly calmed down from five seconds ago, “She was kinda annoying, so I get why you’d say that. That’s why I did what I did, it wasn’t meant to spite her or hurt her feelings. You get what I mean, right?”
The ignorance; it made Tsukishima indescribably mad. (Y/N) wasn’t annoying - although Tsukishima might’ve heavily insinuated it, in the past - and the audacity Kageyama had to say that she was. Also, who in their right mind thinks that cheating is a rational reaction to irritation? 
Tsukishima wouldn’t consider himself a violent person but it was as though the bones in his body acted on their own when he delivered a full-force punch straight onto Kageyama’s cheek. And he didn’t regret it for a moment either - even when the milkboy starting pummelling him into the ground - as he figured that someone had to teach the dick a lesson, why not himself?
‘i don’t have time. i don’t have time. i don’t have time. i don’t have time.’
“Kei..hello? I know I’m probably the last person you want to see right now but Yamaguchi told me that you were here and..I just wanted you to know that I, uh, am really sorry and I hope you get well soon.”

Kuroo:
• Everything about your 1 year date was perfect
• From the dinner to the strolling around town to now
• You were laying in his arms, looking up at the stars on a picnic blanket together
• You thought about conversations in the past everyone talked about
“So has he said I love you?”
“How do you know you two love each other if you’ve never said it?”
“I’d be upset if my boyfriend never told me he loved me.”
• Truth was, you didn’t care
• You were much happier with his actions rather than his words
• You knew he loved you because he put so much effort into the relationship without you asking
• He walked you home, He brought you back if he ever went out, He buys you dinner if he eats out on night, He visits you when you’re stressed
• He’s there for you
• The boy always thinks of you
“I found this flower on my way to class this morning and I picked it up so I could bring it to you.”
“I brought you coffee/tea, I know you’ve been working your butt off recently.”
“I brought you my textbook, I know you forgot yours dummy.”
• He was considerate and you knew he loved you, Thats why the words didn’t matter to you
• And here you were, on your one year date, looking at the stars in silence just enjoying each other’s comfort and soaking in the one on one time you two rarely get.
• You sat up and looked down at him, he closed his eyes and playfully snored
“Ku! I know you’re not asleep!”
• he peeked an eye open before shutting, wrapping his arms around your waist to pull you down on top of him
• You giggled and placed your hands on his chest before looking into his eyes, he smiled and pushed a loose strand of your hair behind your ear
“What’s on your mind y/n?”
• another reason you knew no matter what this man loved you, he read you like a book and knew everything about you
• You found yourself tearing up and smiling at him, you laughed not believed youre actually Crying right now
“Hey hey hey, what’s wrong?”
Bokuto: I feel like someone is stealing my line
“Kuroo...”
• His eyebrows furrowed in confusion before smiling softly at you
“Ku, I love you.”
• His smile widened and he brought you down to kiss you, a slow passionate, yet rough, kiss
“I *kiss* love *kiss* you *kiss* too.”
• He kisses your nose before looking to your big e/c eyes, soaking in the pure love and happiness you displayed for him
“It only took you one year!”
“At least I said it rooster head!”

Hinata:
• You two were both sunshine babies and everyone protected you two at all costs
• When you and Hinata were watching a fairly sad romance movie, your favorite movie of all time, you two cried your eyes out
• You’d been dating for half a year and spent all of your free time together, all of it
• When the two characters had to let each other go, and they thought about each other everyday they were apart, you looked at each other with 🥺 eyes
• That movie wrecked you and Hinata, you two spent hours just holding each other and crying
• He dug his head into your neck sniffling a little
“I love you y/n, I never want to lose you.”
• You cried harder at this and held him extremely tight
“I love you so much more.”
• You were glad to be able to hold him and have him by your side
• Even though you were crying over a movie you knew he meant it with his whole chest
• After every game, practice, training camp, his time belonged to you. He always thought about going to you and just holding you for hours
• His love language is just holding his s/o, and you loved it
• He walked you to your class holding you hand, he felt pride when you held onto his arm, he was constantly just needing you touch
• as he held you in his arms on the couch, just letting you cry now that his tears settled, he felt thankful to have you in his life - his chaotic life
• You were there for him after a bad game, when him and Kageyama fought, when he needed someone to help him improve
• You were always his biggest fans and his heart swelled with joy just knowing he had you
• You finally looked up still sniffling and laughed lightly
“Y-you finally said I love you huh?”
“Yeah, and I mean it.”
• he grabbed the side of your head and pulled you in to kiss your forehead, to which to sighed in content holding his wrist in your own hand just to let it linger for a few second more
• The next few days were crazy ✨
• everyone thought you were inseparable then? well now you two were glued together.
“Do you two ever spend time away from one another?”
“Nope!”
• Suga sighed before dragging them both away from each other saying you two needed some time by yourselves
• You and Hinata kept looking at each other from across the room: 🥺👉🏽👈🏽
Tsukki: This is so annoying
Asahi: I feel bad...
• You two finally explained the whole problem about the movie and everyone just looked at you two like you couldn’t be more pure
• But you two weren’t aloud to watch sad romance movies anymore
“We should watch the titanic!”
“Y/n, Suga said no..”
“Y/n says yes!”
• You watched it and it was another cycle of what happened last time
Suga: I can’t this is so adorable 🥺
• Daichi scolded both of you and then you never watched romantic movies after without anyone there to supervise
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Bokuto:
• He says it a lot! And you don’t mind it because you love him too, you’ve just never said it back
“I love you y/n!”
• To which you’d smile sweetly and place a slow kiss on his lips
• It’s not that you didn’t want to say it, it’s that you wanted to say it when it mattered most to him
• When the boys pointed out how you’d never said I love you back to him, they realized their mistake quickly
• He sulked around practice for the rest until Akaashi had enough and sat down with him
“You believe y/n doesn’t love you? Just because she hasn’t said it? Bokuto-San thats the silliest thing I’ve ever heard.”
• He looked at his best friend, pouting face turning confused
“She goes to all of your games, she brings you lunch all the time, she yells at anyone who’s mean to you, and I know she takes care of you after long practices.”
• Bokuto’s smile widened thinking about all the times he sulked while at your house after a bad long practice and you running him a bath and making him a fast dinner for him to enjoy before he would head home
• He also thought about how you always wrote him a note to leave in his bag when he had long training camps with some of his favorite baked goods in a cute bag
• He smiled at Akaashi before standing up
“She does love me huh?”
• He rolled his eyes before smiling and nodding giving him a small yes
• Since then Bokuto knew to give you time to say I love you when you were ready
• And he was excited to hear those words leave your lips
• it didn’t stop him from trying to squeeze it out of you though
• He did everything, flowers, chocolates, a bear, A ROMANTIC DINNER CHILE PLS
• Until one specific game, no matter what Bokuto wasn’t going to lose
• It was his Key to nationals
• And one perfect spike won it all for him and his team
• You ran down and he automatically spotted you opening his arms as you leaped into them wrapping your legs around his torso
“I knew you could do it Bo!”
• He placed a kiss on your cheek
“I’m glad you were here to see it y/n!”
“I love you I’m so proud!”
• His smiled widened even bigger and he kissed you setting you down softly and holding onto your waist pulling you impossibly closer to him
•cheers were around you two but for once Bokuto ignore all the praise and all the attention and focused on you
• That night was one for the books, and Bokuto was glad he waited to hear those words
“You took FOREVER!”
“You want me to take it back?”
“YOU CANT JUST- No please. 🥺”

FINALLY I was waiting for this ask for so long it’s ridiculous you're the loml now anyway here you go, they're under the cut :)
@srkuv & osamu; mhm ik you didn’t expect this one mae but you’re so sweet, uplifting, kind, and smart and chaotic that the only person who deserves your love is osamu (and me hshshs but let's ignore that) he would make you all kinds of food and watch you eat with the most adoring look in his grey eyes I’m screaming just thinking about this I would ship the both of you so hard
@ioveangel & oikawa; when i tell you you're an angel sent from God i'm serious; you are literally the sweetest, most caring, enthusiastic, and creative person i've ever met and I'm so glad I did. have i told you you're beautiful too?? you're one in a million, you will definitely make oikawa feel like he's on top of the world (but you'd have to make sure not to boost his ego 🙄). no doubt he'll cherish you, just like i do.
@vs-redemption & daichi; I CAN LITERALLY PICTURE YOU WITH HIM aside from that though, you're just the kindest most thorough person ever, we haven't really talked much but everything from your simple yet organized blog to your beautiful writing... daichi would love you uwu cuddling sessions with him, you, and your cat are inevitable <3333
@kitacharm & kita; look i'm not just saying this because he's your fav but you're genuinely super cute, kind, and supporting!! kita would take you to picnics, send baskets full of homemade cookies and healthy snacks and gilded letters to your doorstep to remind you of how much he loves you :)
@keijee & sakusa; there is zero reason to explain. sakusa would absolutely adore you. you would give him such thoughtful compliments at the best times possible, and he'd tell himself (but would never admit to you), "what did i do to deserve someone like chelsea?" it's a perfect match, fight me.
@emergencyfoodpaimon & kunimi; okay this is platonic because i know you're more of a kin than lover, which i'd fully support !!! bromance 4 life, u know? you two would go along so well but i don't think there'd be much pep talk; you'd just get straight to the point LOL you're as reserved, consistent, and lovable as kunimi and that's why i love you both </33
@softetsurou & kuroo; MARI don't ever put yourself down, your writing is amazing and you're so humble and sweet. you also have a good sense of humour and kuroo would love that. he'd say sweet words in your ear, reminding you that you're treasured but he'd also tease you a lot, so you have to crank up your patience lol
@kodzukoi & kenma; koi you're so kind, relatable, caring, talented, and funny!! kenma would think about this all the time and although he's v quiet and not good with words, he'll hug you or ask you to come kiss him at random times. he's constantly reminding himself to be good to you because he loves u to the moon and back
@perqabeth & suna; don't get me wrong but i feel like your relationship would be a love-and-hate one. teasing and bantering are present every week. but when you're feeling down, suna would embrace you with his slender yet strong arms :') also you're super sweet and funny, suna loves that about u
@maipxilia & iwaizumi; UR SO BENIGN AND TALENTED YOU ARE PERFECT FOR IWAIZUMI!!! like how dignified u are, iwaizumi is as august and i'm willing to bet he'd take care of you no matter what. he's one of those people in your life who would literally die in your place, he'd also be so defensive if someone were to eye u or flirt with u and stuff lol.
@koushisbutterfly & sugawara; PLS YOUR PIANO PLAYING??? suga would beg u to play almost every second of the day because that's how good you are. he'd also kiss u on the forehead in the morning and just be the sweetest ever to u, his heart melts from the way you take care of him :')) you're also so kind you and suga would be that couple who punches pats everyone on the back for good luck
@mysterystarz & akaashi; yet another ship that sails freely across the ocean, uninterrupted and peaceful. akaashi would take you to watch the stars at night, give you cute notes, let you borrow his jacket, etc. wow, wonder how jealous your classmates would be when they hear (and see) that 😏
@strawbearisamu & tendou; first off, you and tendou are chaotic as hell lmaoo you'd vibe so well together- i literally know tendou would send you memes from the dozens saved in his camera roll but don't get me wrong, your relationship is also so sweet bc you give him a sense of home. you make him understand he's good enough, for once.
@mimi-cee-hq & tsukishima; MIMI YOU'RE SO TALENTED, KIND, AND SUPPORTIVE jsjsjs we all know tsukki isn't exactly the sweetest person and he wears a blasé mien most of the time, but around you, he softens a LOT and will be less mean to u i'm sobbing oh also i would ship you with kunimi but u guys are too similar i just wanted to switch things up ;)
@shirari & shirabu; i know we didn't interact much but you seem like a funny, kind person!! and don't imply that you aren't lovable or anything because you're passionate about the things you love and shirabu would highly admire that. you'd make him feel so warm and appreciated.
@itsmiyamore & kita; kita would love u bb, i'm spitting facts here. when you're stressed from homework/work, he'd endow upon you as many hugs as you want and comfort you by whispering "everything is going to be okay" i tell you, he's insuperable when it comes to best bf ever <3 (and u would be the best gf too)
@tetsusbbygrl & kageyama; wait abbs i swear you're so adorable and funny kageyama would be rlly shy around you, just like u are with him :)) he'd hold your hand at the most random times, he'd ask his upperclassmen for advice on where to take you out, etc. he tries so hard to make u feel the way u make him feel <33 you'd be that cute oblivious couple, u know the one
@sunkeiji & atsumu; okay we've been mutuals for only a day but you're already so welcoming and sweet to me, atsumu would be so grateful to have met you like i do!! you're collected and friendly while atsumu is energetic and a bit bothersome (but caring as well) which means you'd be great together <33 how cute
